Hen or Roo?

Well, it's a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Is it supposed to be the same age as the others? It might have hatched from a pullet's egg, which are smaller than an adult hen's eggs are, thus hatching out a smaller than average chick that will eventually catch up in size. Or it be something genetic and will always be smaller and take longer to develop than the others.
