Natspringy Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi all, Just wondering if its normal to have one chick that is sleepier than the others? Have a three 6 week old Pekin bantams, the frizzle who's the biggest (not sure if oldest) seems to need so much more sleep than the others. Is this a cause for concern? New chick worries here! Also would you sleep them outside? They were at the breeders but is it too cold at night? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natspringy Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just to note, the breeder vaccinated her for cocci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 My 6 week old (today) araucana bantams are outside for their first night tonight (they are NOT happy about it) - the temperature isn’t forecast to drop below 16 degrees. The sleepiness is a difficult thing to judge without seeing her. All individuals are different - I’d monitor for a couple of days and if there’s no change maybe call the breeder to discuss.

Natspringy Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 So much better thank you! I think she was maybe a bit cold. Very busy over the past few days and went to bed with a nice full crop tonight. thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
