If she checks out, you can assume she is bantam.

No matter what her breed, im having a hard time getting her to grow. She is often cold and is way smaller than her other coop mates who are her age. Currently we have her separated to an acquarium in the house so she can eat as much as she wants but she just doesnt seem to eat as much as i would hope that she would. She is over 13 weeks old and still looks like she is 7 weeks. She is only surviving.. not thriving.. how can i help change this.. diet changed to higher fat and protein.

I agree that she could be a bantam... was she active? Holding her own among the other birds? or looking kind of sad and getting beat up on? I wouldn't keep her inside too long since she'll be demoted to the bottom of the pecking order when she returns... and chickens are very social, it's usually recommended to bring a buddy for a bird that is separated from the flock for whatever reason.

I'm glad to hear it. The bantam Langshan hens are usually a fun breed. Very chatty with you and, yes, broody too at times. I have some Chatty Cathys right now growing up, LOL.

she needs to be around other chooks....they compete for food and it helps them on many levels....maybe a friend is needed....???

Are you getting them from Dick Hostman? The pics on his site are awesome. Sandhill also has them and I am considering ordering some chicks from there if you want to make a joint order for next year.
 
She is from the cackle hatchery surprise box! And yes! The majority of these birds are from that very box. I love the array of color i got! Atleast 2 of each breed and multiple colors od each breed! If i had more space, i would order another go. The little girl in question is sometimes active.. she is always really cold.
