Maybe she has some mix in her ?? I have some about seven week olds now that seem smaller than yours but I am just guessing on the ages .. 10 weeks looks about right to me .. I have hatched several at different times this year and "lost track" of who was born when so I cant show pictures with any exact birthdates.
