Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Is your small one a different breed to the others. How old are they are now? Does she eat, drink and normal? She may just be a runty chicken this can sometimes happen.
If you could post a pic and a few more details that would be fantastic.

Good luck hope to hear back from you soon. Enjoy BYC

Photos would help - maybe her father was a bantam breed. Do you have any bantam roosters in your flock?

Very cute, I would say she has just taken after the Pekin and is small. She looks healthy enough to me

Thanxs i am too scared to put her in with the flock because she might get hurt thought could keep her with her brother
