Can you post a pic of her? Is it growing faster than the others? If it is a meat bird it may just be doing its normal thing if it can still eat and drink. They have a tendency to develop leg problems are are just plain lazy.

She is bigger than my other chicks, i think she is called a cochin... she was completey yellow and is now starting grow in white feathers.. She loves to eat..just like her mama hee hee thanks for the advice.. ill keep an eye on her.

Good luck, I figure as long as they have a healthy appetite, they are good to go.
