Chick too small?

[madisonboe]

My chick who was hatched by a broody hen is three weeks and two days old today. I was looking st other posts on here of chicks around the same age for comparison and I’m noticing that s(he) is a lot smaller than what you guys are posting. Is this chick not growing fast enough? Just small for this age? The mom and dad aren’t small so I’m a little worried now

Without similarly aged chicks next to it, it is hard to really see the size in a picture. It is feathering slower, but many times rooster will feather slower.

As long as it has access to a good chick starter there's not much more you can do.

so cute! just try to make sure they don't get pecked and bullied because they are small. at that age it won't be to much of a problem, but as they get older they might wind up at the bottom of the pecking order
