Hi! I think ours is called a 'golden' but I've seen pics of varying colors of golden so...
if you click 'breeds' at the top of the page
then click on box where it says 'chicken breeds sub index'
scroll down page to 'Easter Eggers Golden' (pic of EE standing by a fence) page created by Chicken Frenzie on 12/27/11, I think it's the last posting in the EE section.
that's what ours looks like except ours is a little fuller (winter feathers?!) Our 'Goldie' (called her that before we knew she was a golden!) is 22 wks old and hasn't started laying yet... we can't wait!! We got 6 different breeds and none are laying yet.
As to the yogurt I should have said X2 to what someone else said about egg/yogurt mix (I think what you are doing already). Plain yogurt is fine but mine would only eat it mixed with hard boiled egg yolk (feeding frenzy!) Also what someone said about trimming the fuzz (forgot I did that too) and maybe putting the little one with a small or less active friend for awhile to make sure it's getting enough to eat and not getting 'beat' up are good ideas. Hope you get this worked out before the site goes down for their upgrade tomorrow. The search engine here has always been helpful to me. Sorry to post a book!! Good luck... I think too some chicks are runts just like a litter of pups!
