I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but is there a possibility for a chick to recieve bantam genes when its parents aren't obvious bantams? I have 3 or so chicks whom are much smaller than the rest. And one of those chicks is EXTREMELY smaller than even the 3 smaller ones. Like it hasn't grown much at all since hatching almost 2 weeks ago. Even it's wing feathers. They're all out of the same EE Rooster and a variety of other EE hens. The rest of the hatch (25 or so) are all on track size wise as normal 2 week old chicks. Bantam genes? Dwarfism? What could be the cause? (Ill get pics shortly)
