Here is our little namesake, Primrose! She's a 3-week Ameracauna chick and she's walking super funny all of a sudden.
She waddles, her body swaying side to side, and stumbles easily. She is still interested in eating and she lives in a bin on pine shavings with our 4 other chicks. She tends to vocalize a lot though, almost as though she's upset about something. This isn't new behavior, but the waddling is. Her outer toe seems to splay out.
Here's a closeup of her feet. To me they don't really look funky, but what do I know.
She's also about half the size of the other chickens. I know she'll be smaller than the others (they are: 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 Dominique, and 1 Buff Orpington) but still, she doesn't really seem to be growing much.
Any thoughts?? I'd post pics, of which I have many, but since I'm a newbie, it won't let me.
