What's wrong with my chick?

[cajungal]

You might want to try some sugar water and mashed boiled egg...I take a 1/2 of sugar to a gallon of water..I boil the water till the sugar melts and then let it cool..I have done this with all my baby chicks and thank God I have never lost one...I keep them on boil egg 2 times a day for at least a month..Of course they have their regular food to! And sugar water a few weeks! Hope this helps! Good luck!
Blessings

He/she is eating and drinking and getting an attitude! I still don't think he is an Americauna but that's ok. Everyone who sees him thinks he's the turkey not the real turkey chick we have. He looks like a tiny little osterich : ) My hubby thinks there is a problem but I think like Mother Jean said he needed to be back on chick start, he couldn't handle the row corn because he wasn't mature enough. I will try and post a picture of him and see what people think.

Some one mentioned the sugar water just the other day. I will have to try that and the boiled egg is such a good idea. He will get some tomorrow. Thanks

Sounds like a slow grower to me. As long as it's eating and drinking fine it's ok. I just wouldn't use it for breeding because you don't want that trait to carry on.
