Tiny chicken

[hiljak]

Hey guys, I have 4 chicks a couple months old. One of them is about half the size of the others.
It eats and looks healthy, but it does stay to itself more than the others. I’m not sure what to think about it, I’ve never seen such a size difference before.
That’s her in the lower left of the pic

Looks like a runt. She'll most likely stay small forever.

I'd keep a special eye on her. She'll be an easy target for predators of all kinds and bullies. Make sure she's getting enough to eat and drink too.

She already has that special eye on her! Haha, I’ve studied her movement and habits 10x more than any others.
She’ll be spoiled and well taken care of

Off topic, but I am interested in those black and white ones you have. I have bought many (close to 50) chicks from rural king over this summer. One of the "americana" (EE) CHICKS, TURNED OUT TO BE A BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND WHITE. I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT HER GENETICS. AND WHERE THE COLORING CAME FROM. WISH I HAD MORE LIKE HER. SHE IS ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS OLD. AND GETTING MORE BEAUTIFUL BY THE DAY. OH! Sorry about all caps. Did not mean to do that. Please forgive me. I have carpal tunnel and really don't feel like retyping. Thanks for understanding.

All mine are full or 3/4 americauna. Look up the breed there are a few different colors they can be. I have black and white, pure white, brown/tan, black, and some multicolored.
