What kind of chick is this ? They are supposedly the same breed but they look different in size and feathers

He's a polish but looks like he is suffering from some sort of dwarfism.

Oh really? Yeah it hasn’t developed like the head tassels haha but I just thought maybe its another breed or something that got mixed in. I’ve had the most issues with this one. I just don’t understand what’s going on with it. Shes doing fine but I just struggle to understand it haha i think it’s a female but not sure.

Probably failure to thrive. What sort of issues has s/he had?

Nothing too crazy, s/he eats and drinks well. I’ve just struggled to keep it warm. He was chirping all the time like s/he’s cold. S/he constantly has a pasty bottom that has to be cleaned off basically every other day. I’ve never had to pay as much attention to a chick as I have with this one, which is fine but has me concerned a little. I’ve given them electolytes and mash to try to boost it and it worked a little.
