I think I have a runt.

I have four sex link chicks. Three of the four have grown considerably in the week and a half I have had them. One of black chicks still looks the same as when we brought her home. She seems to be eating well and the others aren't picking on her. They all snuggle up together. She seems fine but just small. Should I be concerned? What should I do for her if this is a problem? Thanks in advance.

I think you've got the basics covered. As long as she's eating, pooping, and not being picked on she should be fine. My little runt turned out to be the most friendly and loving of the bunch.

I have one of those she is a speckled Sussex she is growing just a little behind the others but her feathers are coming in very wavy and sparse.
She to eats drinks and no is pecking at her.

Thanks, guys! I will keep up with what I am doing. She seems fine, just small.

Love the Speckled Sussex!!!!! My SS was a little slower at growing but boy did she have a personality to make up for it! No one bossed her around and she was just a cook!
