is this? a RIR chick?

[carousel]

I have a 2 week old Chick
I thought at first it was one of my RIR
but it has developed at such a different rate than my other 3 RIR
this chick is 2 weeks old TODAY

this is one of my RIR

The first chick is also about 2/3 the size of my RIR chicks.
they are all the same age
thanks!

It looks like a RIR chick to me.

I agree. It sure looks like a Rhode island red. One of my favorite breeds!

Yeah. That's a RIR.

any reason why it is so much smaller and getting feathers as such a slower rate?

the top 3 pick are the same chick
the bottom chick is different one.
both taken today, and same age.
thanks

Some are just runty. I had a RIR pullet like that. Now, at over two years old, she's still slightly smaller than her two sisters, but a plucky, tough girl.

Yep, looks like a RIR. Sometimes there are just runts. Not to worry.
