Hi! I have a flock of chicks at about 6.5 weeks old of assorted breeds. I only have one SLW, for the first 4 weeks or so she was the smallest in size compared to the rest of her flock but a LOT heavier by a pretty big margins. When you pick her up you can feel that she is a solid dense nugget! her head is now also bigger than everyone else and steadily holds her heaviest weight in the flock.
Is this normal? I understand wyandottes tend to mature faster, but she is still pretty small in size, tho it's possible she is not as fluffy as the others so she seems smaller.
