Can my goose be a runt?

[thegoosegirl59]

Ever since I bought my 8 chinese geese as goslings, there has been a smaller one, Lucy. From the begining, she was very passive and I thought she was going to die. But thankfully she has lived and is very healthy, but she's very small and all the other geese have out grown her. Is she just a runt or something else?
Thanks to all,

It's perfectly possible for her to be a runt. Could be an internal problem, could be weak genetics, or she could have been hatched out of a smaller egg. If it's the last, she should grow up to attain normal size, the other two, she'll probably stay small and weak all her (generally shortened) life.
