Hey guys I have this tiny 6 week old chick I named her Minnie because she is so small. Now to my question I was told that she is a lavender orrington however when I put her next to lavenders that are the same age as her she looks different more the size of a bantam. However all the lavender bantams that I have seen are feather footed and she is not. Can you guys help me decide if I have a bantam or if she is just stunted for some reason? The picture shows her next to a hen the same age as her. I also should mention she only just barely started to get her adult feathers in up until about 5 weeks old she still looked like a day old chick.

I think she's just not as fast a developer as the others. She'll need to be monitored to make sure she gets enough food and drink.

I don't think she is small enough to be a bantam, but if she was she fits pretty well for self blue old English game bantam. Self blue is just a different name for lavender. They're the same thing.
