If she is eating/drinking/pooping normal,then there may be nothing wrong with her crop. Check her crop in the evening after she has been eating all day,should be full and soft,check again in the morning,before she has had anything to eat,should be empty.
Chickens grow at different rates,depending on breed.
Since you are a new chicken owner,i am going to suggest you become knowledgeable about Coccidiosis,cocci is the leading cause of deaths in chicks,it is a parasitic infection of the intestinal tract. Cocci can kill very fast,but is easily controlled using a coccidiostat. I am in no way suggesting any of your birds have cocci,but rather since you are new become aware of the symptoms so that you have no deaths resulting from a cocci overload.
