Is Sally younger? The runt? Or a roo?

[DMchicks]

So I know it is way to soon to know for sure but I'm still looking for opinions. I got these girls all from tsc 9 days ago. All girls, all light brahmas. Not sure how old when I got them. Sally is not as feathered as my other ones and seems just a bit smaller in general to me as well. Is she younger? Maybe a runt? Or possibly a roo?

Looking back she has been like that since I got them.

They are too young. Wait to sex until they are 6-8 weeks old.

I agree, but I’m thinking this might be more of a case of FTT or something

New chicken mom and probably overly worried. She is eating drinking and pecking like the others but she doesn't hop/fly as well as they do. Do you think she will be okay? (I'm going with she until proven otherwise, lol)

Maybe a little runty. She doesn't look bad in comparison with the others at this stage.

Sally looks very healthy. Some chicks just develop slower than others.

"Her" legs are very thick and I see wattles

I got two light brahmas from TSC as well and my runt looking of the two with super slow feathering ended up being a roo.. he is now 8 weeks and still has nothing for a tail with feathering just finally starting to fill in all the way.. he is a goof ball lol but his comb and waddled were more apparent and still are compared to the other
