I got 6 chicks about a week ago. I got 2 wyandottes, one golden laced one blue but have one wyandotte that hasn't grown as much as the other. (I'm not sure if they grow at different rates or if they are more or less the same breed) Also the smaller one sits down quite a lot. She'll get up walk a little and sit and repeat, mostly if the other chicks are close to her. She eats, drinks, and poops fine. She doesn't get excited about the fermented feed like the other chicks though. And she doesn't really seem to want to play with the other chicks. She'll sleep with them in a cuddle though. She also doesn't mind too much if I scoop her up and just cradle her in my palm.

Update: I've noticed she does limp a little but not a lot. She makes her way too and from the food and water. So should I do anything or just monitor and hopefully it heals on its own?
