Unsure of this silkie chick

[Whippee]

hello again everyone. I had four silkie hatch December 23rd last year. There are three very healthy, fully feathered chicks and we have one which looks slender, feathers not nice ect. Just wondering everyone’s thought. She/he eats very well, drinks fine and gets around like the rest... in the pics it’s the grey slender one

Are you asking if the bird is in good health?

What are you feeding? Do you still give them 20% chick starter? I don’t give my young chicks scratch because it dilutes their nutrition. I also mix a little water with the chick crumble it makes it less powdery and they eat more of it. It might be genetics. Does appear to be less developed than 8 week chick. But if active and eating well I wouldn’t worry.

Thanks for the replies. He/she eats the same as the other chicks. Like you said, as long as it’s eating and drinking I shouldn’t worry
