Slow growing chick … should I be concerned?

I got these 2 pullers from Tractor Supply exactly 1 week ago. They were sold as copper marans. The chick in the first picture looks almost the same as when I brought it home, it hasn’t grown much in size or developed much wing feathering as the 2nd chick from the same batch in the 2nd picture. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Both are eating and drinking equally as well and appear to be thriving the same. There’s just a marked difference in their growth.

Definitely not a copper marans, probaby a buff brahma guessing on the colors. Brahmas do have s tendency to grow a lot slower sometimes. I wouldn’t worry, just keep an eye on the chick.

Thank you so much. They were selling buff Brahmas as well so I bet that’s what they gave me by accident but I’m excited either way.
