RE: [CHICKENS-101] My Modern Game chick!

 

            It is with the little Polish and I don’t plan to add it to general population – if it makes it.  I just wonder if that scrunched beak is compromising it’s respiratory system and why it gasps….l can only wait………not much I can do for it.  In the meantime, it is a mouth breather………poor thing.  Tiny, too.  So tiny I was worried it would drown in the waterer, so I put gravel in it, just in case it fell in! 

 

            We are having a lot of rain……..flood conditions in the area.  Luckily, we are up on a hill and the rain runs down it………but all of the animals are wet.  They don’t have to be out in it, they choose to be!  The alpacas are muddy monsters……the chickens look like drowned rats with wings.  This weather makes me want to curl up and nap with a book all day…..but no time for that! 

 

            Anyone else having nasty wet weather?

Laura .... if the chick is eating..drinking and pooping normally I'd say it should be OK.  I have had a few with really wonky beaks that did well.  I would say only issue is making sure others don't pick on it.
