He’s at 692 this morning, empty crop pre-tube. So 23g gained in 4 days, an average of 5.75g a day. Does that sound about right? Too low? I’m assuming he shouldn’t necessarily have the same rate of gain as a growing chick, since he was mostly fully grown already. Just don’t know what a good number to aim for is.I did mean to ask though- is there a certain daily weight gain goal when they’re sick like this? Like he should gain x% of his weight back each day, or even just a fixed amount per day, or anything like that? Or just as long as he’s gaining and not stagnant or losing weight?
He’s supposed to be a pure Sebright, but in trying to find weight info, the average adult male Sebright is only around 620g, and since he’s well over that but still super skinny, AND he has male feathers and not the hen feathers he should have, AND a single comb, I’m thinking he’s probably a mix. So I’m not even sure what his normal weight *should* be.
