I was playing with my seven one-month-old Black Sex Link chicks this morning, and I noticed that one of the cockerels, Charlie, is pretty small. More so than the others, I mean. Even the female, Luna, who is five days younger than him, stands nearly a head taller than him, and his one-day-older brother Steven is even bigger. Charlie is growing feathers just as fast as everyone else, he's just as energetic as them, and his family is always perfectly healthy. So everything about him is normal except for his size. Should I be concerned though?
 
I hatched a bantam cochin pullet that was a lot smaller than the rest. She is 4 months old now and still smaller, but the difference is not as great. She is fine, just going to be small.
