I have 3 silkies. One adult we found in the neighborhood park in May. Enjoy her so much decided to get her some flock mates. Purchased 2 young silkie hens, was told they were 8 and 10 months old. The smallest of the two hasn't grown a bit since we got her beginning of June.
She is active, eats and drinks, always scratching around the yard. She seems healthy. I've checked for mites and lice and don't see any.
Any advice? Is this normal? Maybe she's a runt? Right now she's about 1/2 the size of the biggest chicken.
This is our first time having chickens so I don't have any experience with growth rates.
