Are you sure it's 4 weeks old? Do you have another chick to compare it to?

At least 4 weeks. This is her next to my 2 week old silkie

It does look rather small. did you hatch it yourself? Some chicks just fail to thrive. Mostly they don't make it..... sorry.
Is it active and alert? Eating well?

Nope I got it with other standard chicks who are all very normal. I am worried it is FTT. She has improved since day 1 but I am worried she will die anyway. She is mildly active, mildly alert and is eating well most days. If she is not going to make it, how long would you say she has left? Thanks again

If it keeps eating and keeps healthy it may be ok... keep us updated with progress

Oh! You are the person with that chick. You have been taking good care of her. I wouldnt say she is a Bantam yet. She has barely any feathers, enough for a 1 maybe 2 week old, so she may still be the size of a 1 or 2 week old.
