Hi all!
I have 11 chicks now at 4 weeks of age. Four are Easter Eggers from TSC and the rest are a “rare/standard” shipped mix from the hatchery used by TSC. I’m pretty sure the latter are all brahmas of some sort - they are mostly buff/cream colored with black or gray wings and they all have feathered toes.
One of them is tiny compared to all the rest. Seems healthy, scratching and scrabbling amongst the fatties to get food and water. Just hasn’t grown. She’s feathering out like they are too. She also has feathered toes.
What is she? A bantam? A runt?

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! Yes, it could be a bantam of some sort. As long as it is eating and drinking well, it should be ok. Just watch to make sure that the bigger one's don't trample her as they grow and get more active in jumping around to try the new feathered wing's out.
