What am I besides a chunky butt?

[StelleKitten]

I am putting on weight at an alarming pace! I have already dwarfed the other two I came with. On March 22nd I weighed 2 oz, today I weigh 6 oz. The other two only weigh in at 3 oz this week. We were all the same size on day one.

This is my March 22nd pic. I was told I came from Ideal Hatchery.

Does it have poofy cheeks? My EE's from Ideal were patterned similar and grew VERY fast.

welsummer or leghorn most likely it has no traits what so ever of an ee.

It doesn't seem to have poufy cheeks. I have three ee's in another batch and he/she is already bigger than they were at this age.

Leghorns get big fast? I didn't know that. We shall see eventually. Just wondering if I need to put this one on a different diet than the rest since it is growing so much faster. It's put on weight faster than my turkeys who are the same age.

turkeys and chickens grow at different rate. you should be feeding chicks chick start and turkeys a turkey start

I know. The turkeys need a higher protein among other things. They have their own feed and their own brooder. Though I do let them hang out with the chicks to make sure they aren't complete strangers.
