I have a 3 1/2 week old Jersey Giant that I ordered from MPC, along with other various breeds. I'm wondering, should she be a bit bigger than the other chicks at this point? I realize she is hatchery, and not breeder quality, but still. Here are some pics of her with her brooder mates of the same age:
This is Bug (JG) standing next to Honey, a Red Star. They both look really tall because they were standing very erect for some reason:



Here she is next to a BLRW. As you can see, just about same size:




Thanks!
