I have 3 Buff Orpingtons. One I hatched from an egg. The other two I got from someone that told me were born at the same time and were always together. I got them when they were about 2 and a half months old. One was smaller than the other and he told me that is how they were since birth.

Needless to say they both had runny noses. The bigger one seems to be sneezing much less these days (it has been about a month). The small one is not growing or developing much at all. The head is smaller and there is no comb development. The other two have little combs. The other two are also twice as large as the little one. The little one still sneezes and doesn't eat as much. She does follow her sister closely at all times. But when the big sister is pecking around at the grass and the ground the little one kind of sits and daydreams. Why is she not growing? Is she sick but not very sick? What to do?
