I'm a first time chicken owner. I have 2 barred rocks, a silver laced wyandotte, a buff orphington, and a black australorp. I was told the ophington was 4 days older than the others, the rest are supposed to be the same age (going on 2 weeks now). They all seem to be growing rapidly, and getting a lot of feathers, except my australorp. She is much smaller than the others and only has a few feathers on her wings. Is this normal for her breed? Is it possible she is just younger than the rest of them? She seems to be eating, drinking, and moving around fine, she's just small. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've included a picture, though it's not very good. She is the one on the top left.
Thanks!
Thanks!
