Very Big Chick!

[Purpledandilion]

We just got three baby chicks from a feed store and have had them mabye a week. Well we have noticed that one of them is growing incredibly faster than any chick we have ever raised before! She is easily 4x bigger than the other two even though they are all the same age. I have no idea why she is so big. If anyone has any idea please let me know. Thanks

Pictures please! Did the feed store have any clue about what breeds they were supposed to be and possibly which hatchery they ordered the lot from?

I wasn't with my family when they got her so I have no idea what breed. I will post a picture in a second, thanks.

it could be a meat chick, like a Cornish Giant or something.

What color is the little one? How about the leg color? Any comb visable yet? I have a similar situation going on here, and am hoping the bigger chick is just big because of her breed (wyandotte vs. EE)...time will tell. Good luck!

I am acctually working on posting a picture, but she is yellow with pink feet/legs, she does have a visible comb.
