Chick not growing or feathering out....

Any update on the “dwarf” brahma? I think we’ve got one too! The bottom two pictures are the day we got our three chicks April 13th. The top picture was taken today. She only has two feathers on each wing and that’s it!

Ok so sorry for not getting back in a timely manner we have had a death in the family and I just couldn't be home in daylight hours, or enough time to really get on here. So now after going out and trying to get pics I see that she has grown but it is VERY little. The pic of the single chick is the one that isn't really growing. The pic of the chick with the white chick are the same age. They were bought as day olds at the local feed store. The white one is so much bigger then the other. and then the ones with the black chick in the pics are the one that will not hardly grow and the black one I hatched out, it is about to be 4 weeks old, and the one not hardly growing is 8 weeks and a few days.
The chick in question behaves the same as the others its age, and is not bullied they all like each other and have always been together so no problems at all other then the size.



















Must be a mutant gene, see how she grows. It will be interesting to see how she turns out.

About 7 weeks ago my son got new chicks, an assortment as we like to have a few of each. We got them from the local feed store. 10 chicks altogether, and they are doing great. Only problem is he got a Buff Brahma that will not grow. It is still fuzzy, never feathered. Its wings are the tiniest wings I ever seen. It's body has gotten a tiny bit bigger. We have chicks we hatched that are 2 weeks old and they are way bigger then this chick. When we open the brooder door all the others end up flying out, she attempts, but falls. I have never seen anything like her and it just blows my mind. She runs and plays, eats, drinks, does everything completely normal, just will not grow or feather out.... Anyone ever had this issue? If so what is it and what happened in the long run? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Hi I know this is a super old thread but, what ever happened to your chick? I think I might have the same issue :(
