Chantecler chick with noticable pulse

[Tiffy316]

I currently have 4 chantecler chicks that are about 3 weeks old. One of them has an odd little quirk. Ever since she was a tiny little baby, I've been able to feel a strong pulse through her underside when I pick her up and hold her with her feet dangling. I've always thought it was odd bc I don't feel it on any if her sisters. However, she seems to be perfectly fine despite that. Could the strong pulse thst I keep feeling on her underside be a sign of a potential health issue?

She's probably stressing from being picked up.

This is one that time will tell. Could be no problem at all, or as @Kiki said could be stress.
Only chick I ever had that had a heartbeat I could feel like this died suddenly at 6 months and necropsy showed a massively enlarged heart. And this is a recent thread, in post #4 is a video where you can see the heartbeat, may want to follow to see how that chick does, if they update. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/i-can-see-her-heart.1396207/#post-22912521
Hopefully yours will be fine!

I don't feel that sensation on any if her sisters, and she tends to be the calm one of the bunch. I have 1 chick in particular who has a nervous personality and tends to scream and dart away from my hand whenever I catch her, but I've never felt it with her. They don't act stressed when I hold them. Sometimes they get into a yawning fit bc of the wind, or try to fall asleep on me though. So far, she's doing fine.

Fingers crossed that she does fine. Honestly, all you can really do is provide the best care you can, and hope for the best. Even if you KNEW she had a heart problem, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. It may be something that is 'different' but may not have any negative effect on her life. I would just try to enjoy her.
