A guy bought 40 of them at a day old and put them outside in a tractor with no supplimental heat (we get down to the teens at night) and was feeding them layer pellets. These were the last 4 left when he finally decided to ask for help. Once I told him everything he needed to fix he just told me to take them. I'm suprised theyve all made it this long with me. I didnt think they would make it.
I dont think its bothering her. Shes acting like a normal chick and growing. I'll leave it be.
Some people shouldn't ever have animals. What an idiot. I don't even want to know what he was thinking. Even the cheap instructions they give you at the feed store talk about temperature and feed.
He bought them from someone local but you're right. He should have done his research before getting them. It's so sad that so many died. They either starved or froze to death
He also told me he didnt understand how these little birds were going to give him eggs in a few weeks. Uh, they're not.
I was thinking possibly remnants of yolk also but never had a chick with it so wanted to be sure it woudnt hurt her in some way. I'll leave it be. Shes growing great. Theyve seem to double in size this past week since I've had them.
