Hello! This hen here is about two months old now, I've had her for about a month. She came in a flock of 6, now all of her sisters are huge compared to her! I was told they were all a mix of "brown layers crossed with a road island red and winedot rooster" but she's always looked so much different than the rest! No comb and blue legs. And so tiny! None of this would concern me, but yesterday out of nowhere she started walking very shakily and one leg keeps giving out, she's very tired, she fell asleep in my lap last night. She's also very quiet and usually a big chirper. I've noticed them working out their pecking order, could that be it? And she almost sounds sniffly, could it be a cold? Where she's so tiny it concerns me to see her so weak all of a sudden. I'm attaching a few pictures of her, the feathers on her wing seem strange too, you can see the stem of the feathers at the top of her wing, is this normal? And a picture of her sisters as well for comparison. Thanks in advance for any help and advice!!
