Large Bantam V small large fowl

[gunslinger33]

I have a SLW that seems small compared to the other 4 month old chicks I have. What is the difference in a Large Bantam
compared to a small Large Fowl SLW?

I think you probly have a runt and you might pass out scrambled eggs and vitamins to help give them a boost. Often the runts make it but sometimes they dont, it takes a little extra care to be sure theyre able to get enough food and water. I love to use "Nutri-drench" in the water for supplemental vitamins. Could be genetic or situational. For example: Maybe the hen who laid the egg didnt get enough nutrients, maybe the chick has been bullied or kept overcrowded.

However if shes the only of that type and your comparing her to another breed of chicken? The wyandottes take a little longer to really mature vs other breeds.
