She's a silver grey dorking... she hardly looks like a chicken! My mother keeps calling her sparrow . The other two are a buff orpington and a Buckeye.

Aww! Sparrow fits her.

Feathering more slowly than other Brahmas or other breeds? My Brahma pullet took what seemed like forever next to fast-feathering chicks but that's just how they are.

Slower than my other Brahma chicks. I got 3 Light Brahmas and 3 Buff Brahmas, figuring that since they are from a hatchery they may be from completely different lines and thus different from each other. Gertrude is feathering slower than the other two Light Brahmas. She is also the fattest of all the chicks, though, lol. She is obviously smaller than the older chicks, but she's very round. She hopped off my lap and bounced the other day. I have noticed that the Buff Brahmas are significantly smaller than the Light Brahmas. I am someehat concerned about one of the Buff Brahmas - it is hardly feathering at all and still looks almost as small at a week as it was at one day old, but I have watched closely and it is just as active as the other chicks, eating,drinking, etc...I am worried it could get crushed in the naptime pileups though, but it's not like it's thin, just small, so I don't think there's much I can do about it. The Wyandottes are starting to reach the awkward stages, lol, they are 3 weeks old. All the chicks are getting more comfortable around me, I think they are finally associating me with food. I will be leaving tomorrow morning and not coming back till Sunday night, so hopefully they will be ok for that long. They have plenty of space, multiple feeders and multiple waterers and I'm going to set up two lights just in case so I think they should be ok.

I found little Runty outside the coop, half out of her egg, with an injured wing. Here she is less than 24 hours later.
