    different groth rate

    My neighbor and I bought chicks at the same time, same breed, and are using the same food. she bought 2 and I bought 5. It has been about a month. Mine are about 3 times larger than hers. any ideas as to why? is there any danger in rapid growth? both have free access to food and water.
