Was the skin red like that before? Is it feeling any different to the touch? Honestly and unfortunately, it looks just like the chick I mentioned that I had a while back. Still, I hope I'm wrong here

I only have one picture of her after she arrived but I don’t see the redness in that one. It looks like her skin is getting stretched too quickly. Not loss of down but it’s spread out because of the (assumed) hernia.Was the skin red like that before? Is it feeling any different to the touch?

I don’t but might can find one tomorrow. She definitely isn’t growing like the othersDo you have a food scale that you can weigh it and another on? If Mine, I would weigh it and a similar-sized one daily to make sure they were both gaining about the same amount of weight.
Chicks should make daily gains, so as long as they are acting normal and making good gains, I don't worry.

Oooh I read it wrong! Haha I understand what you’re saying. You know, I do think it looks a little worse todayI meant differences from whenever you first noticed it. My apologies for not being more clear Sure is an adorable chick
From the last picture it looks (possibly) like a pretty serious hernia. Likely intestines or organs sitting in a pocket underneath. I'd definitely go to an avian vet for this one.These are some better pictures. Do you have any thoughts?
