Chick Not Growing

[Hannah444]

My EE chick is about two and a half weeks old and is smaller then my one day old Ameracaunas and I wasn’t sure why this is? The chick is otherwise healthy it just hasn’t grown at the same rate as my other EE’s and I was wondering if there’s anything I can do?

Where did you get the chicks?
Any chance the small one is a bantam?
Is it eating/drinking/pooping/moving around ok?

I got them from somebody who ordered in fertilized eggs could be from a hatchery. I got quite the mix of EE’s so it might be a bantam. It’s otherwise eating, pooping, moving and socializing okay. I think I might seperate it from the others for a couple days just to make sure it’s doing okay.

I got them from somebody who ordered in fertilizers eggs. Because their EE’s I’m thinking they might be from a hatchery not totally sure though.

Not sure I'd separate...not if you plan on them living together down the road.

Makes sense I’ll probably just keep an eye out then
