Size difference in Welsummer

[Aliwe82]

Hi all! You’ve always been so helpful so I thought I would ask this here!

I have my 6 girls; 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Lavender Orpington, 1 EE, 2 Black Sexlinks, and 1 Welsummer who are all 9 weeks old. They are all fully feathered and doing great! I have noticed my Welsummer is significantly smaller in size compared to the rest of the girls. Is this a normal thing?

Photos? Different breeds (and individuals) mature at different rates, but it could also be a bit runty.

I will have to take some good photos tomorrow. The ones I have don’t really show the size difference. I will check in then.
