I have two breeds in there and the other ones of the same breed are bigger

I don't know if you can tell by this picture but I wanted to get a better one because when this little one with the white spot was laying next to another you can really tell that she is smaller. Is this fairly common?

Yes, I have a thermometer; they're in my basement in a very large watermelon box. Lamp is over to one side and they have plenty of room away from it if they want. They can very easily self-regulate temperature. I have 10 chicks and there was only 1 with this problem.
