Wing size difference

These two chicks are approx 4 days old. I was just wondering, is the difference in the wing size normal? It seems pretty extreme, but this is only my 3rd time raising chicks from this young of an age, and the last time was only 1 chick so I wouldn't have noticed if anything like this was off with her.

Anyway, is this a random sort of thing, a developmental difference between the two breeds, or a sign of a problem in the brahma chick that needs addressing/monitoring?

Thanks!

Oh I have 16 2 week old babies today and there are 5 breeds. Each "set" has different wing size at this point. They are my first and I wondered the same thing. I have a male Brahma and a Cochin. The Brahma has large wings and the Cochin is very small.
 
Those look like two different breeds and different breeds devlope at different rates....They look normal to me!
