Chick won’t grow
Our take
Meet Tiny, our adorable 6-week-old Cuckoo Maran who seems to have a case of the “slow growth blues.” Despite being paired with her sister at the same time, Tiny hasn’t quite hit the growth milestones we were hoping for. She’s still as small as the day we brought her home, and we’ve been trying everything from NutriDrench to probiotics and even scrambled eggs to give her a little boost. However, nothing seems to be working! As we prepare for the integration process in a couple of weeks, we’re concerned about Tiny getting picked on due to her size. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation with their feathered friends? We’d love to hear your advice and tips on helping Tiny thrive!
 | This is Tiny. She’s a 6 week old Cuckoo Maran, along side her sister who we got at the same time. Tiny as you can see, is not hitting the same miles stones and appears to not have grown much bigger than when we first got her. We’ve been cycling nutridrench, probiotics, scrambled eggs… nothing seems to promote any growth. Has anyone else ran into this issue and what did you do? We are going to start the integration process slowly in a couple of weeks, and we don’t even want to risk her because she will inevitably get picked on due to size. [link] [comments] |
