So this is about REAL wild chickens, im asking about things like jungle fowl not orpingtons, so if say a wild chicken, red jungle fowl hen for example, has 10 chicks, and 9 of the chicks have pasty butts, do 90% of the babies die? if so then wild chickens have no chance it seems like the reason i ask about real wild chickens is just if WE let a chicken raise the chicks we'll rip off the poo, but if it doesnt have a human to do so does the chick die?
Hi CochinBrahmaLover, wild chicks won't be getting pasty butts, on the whole. I've never seen it in chicks not fed processed food (i.e. chicks raised 'as wild'). Going out on a limb here, but that's my feeling... cheers Erica
