They won't grow.

I have two little chicks, almost ready to start layer feed, ( I have two other hens that eat layer feed cuase they're all grown up, and fairly large.) My two little chickens, about 13, 14, weeks old I guess? The black one is a black star, and the brown one is a welsummer hen. They're both hens. They have stayed this way for  half thier life or something. 7 weeks of looking small and not quite full grown. They look like full grown hens, but thier size isn't right. they're less than 2 times as big as my other hens. I'm not taking this too seriously, I just want to make sure they're okay. big_smile.png

If you need me to upload pictures, let me know! 

We live in a grassy area surrounded by trees and bushes and weeds, and we started owning chickens almost an year ago. We have 4 lovely hens which names are Cooper, Booker, Tiny and Naughty. These chickens names are based on thier personality. They may be just chickens out a billion, but to me they are the most special creatures in the whole world.

Yes, they're bantams. Not the black one though.
