Chick's unusual STINK!!

[MotherClukr]

Hello, all!

I have a 6 week old salmon faverolle female chick that STINKS! And I'm not talking a normal animal stink. This one has a very sour smell. She is in good health--eats and drinks well, very active, clean vent, normal crop, clean mouth, etc. She's been stinky since her feathers started coming in, so I'm wondering if this has something to do with her plumage. We've raised chicks before and have never experienced this. Any ideas why? Will she become less stinky??

What kind of stink? Like a wet dog?
Rotting meat? Rotting fruit or fermented fruit?
I'd look her over again very closely. Look for an open wound.
