I thought I'd put this photo on to demonstrate just how underdeveloped he is. Next to him is his sister. He sits down most of the day too which is very odd. His poos are normal and he has access to food and water.He keeps falling asleep and is not very lively, although he has had a dust bath...

One of my seven chicks is half the size of the others. They are four weeks old and getting their feathers but he looks about two weeks. Yesterday evening I went to shut them up at about 5pm and he was just on the floor on his own. Mum had taken the others in and left him. :cry: I picked him...
