"Hey hey" the chicken

[Tony216]

Hello everyone, I have a few questions and concerns. was hoping I could get a little help. I recently added four blue copper marans and four olive eggers to my flock. They are now 6 weeks old. The problem I have is one of the olive eggers looks like she's a two day old chick. She seams to be eating good and getting along with the flock has anyone ever seen this?

They don't all grow at the same exact rate.

Not quit that easy.

But if there are no problems, within the flock let it go.
It'll grow to size.


Meanwhile, welcome.

Could it be a bantam breed? Some are very small. You might want to post at "what breed or gender is this?" they may recognize the breed

It's a olive egger they come from the same hatch!

Welcome!

I agree that if there are no problems or other signs for concern, could just be a slow developer.
