I have a young Buff Orpington Pullet who is about 6 or 7 weeks old.(Not entirely sure) but I noticed she is not as heavy or as big as her siblings,(They are all orpington mixes). All of her siblings seem on track for weight as they are slowly getting heavier and bigger in size but she is not, she is pretty tiny. She looks big because of her feathers but when you pick her up she is light as a feather! I give then lots of food and plenty of vegetables and snacks and I let them forage so I was wondering if this will pass or should I do something to help her gain weight?!

I'd check at night to make sure that her crop is full indicating that she is getting enough to eat. She may simply be slower maturing. From the pictures she appears to be healthy.
Ok I'll check her tonight. Thanks alot!
