this chick is 2 months old. She is just chill, doesn’t run away from you, and has a bad hair day every day. I’m not sure if she is grooming or her hair is just mega poofy. Her hair underneath is the longest I have ever seen on a chick. She did have coccidiosis but she was like this before hand. She doesn’t seem very strong but doesn’t get picked on by others. I’m trying to determine her sex too. What do you think her deal is?

She’s a RUNT .. I raise runt with success
And they live longer
Runt chicks are pretty weak , chilly, skinny , low feather rate but they grow like weeds with Eggs 🥚
When I had my first runt chick I always stay scared that he wouldn’t make it but then u started to feed him all egg protein (the whites) everyday in breakfast first for 8 weeks , feed him boiled cooked veggies with rice and plain yoghurt (yum) a lot of veggies a lot of good plant energy , feed fresh corn some Pre-probiotics with diet yeast helpful
And after 8 week I started giving him 1 drop of Avian Multivitamin with Amino Acids supplement 1x a day and what happened is his growth is all grown like a weed 🫠
He become handsome smart strong rooster
Runt chick have low immunity mine fall sick a lot in comparison with my other roo but vitamin supplements help me later when he’s 2 year old I give him Moringa leaf extract that help him a lot with immunity never cocci happened ever
 
Prebiotic and Probiotic with supplemental yeast is a game changer for chicks I use it 2 days a week not just boost immune response but also clear coccidiosis and linings shedding issue completely

Thank you for all of this! I had a runt the last batch I raised it was very time consuming and I can’t believe he lived through his rough start of life.

I think your right she’s the runt. Right now she’s drinking rooster booster in her water and I have probiotics and electrolytes out.

I’ll give the eggs a try. We love her she loves to snuggle!
