So here is my latest weight chart: The three circled are cause for concern as at two weeks were under 100 grams. -Kathy

Both of the chicks momma is raising were under 100g at 2 weeks. I need to weigh them again. I'll do that tonight. They were both small at hatch though in comparison to the other 3 that hatched from different parents. What was their starting weight? I would think if they've gained an equal amount as the others but started smaller you could expect their weight at the same age to be a bit lower.

Well I didn't get them weighed as momma took them to the roof last night! I was worried sick about it and in shock they got up there. They were out with her this morning so they made it their first night out!

Oh no! the horse is out of the barn! Not to worry, as long as they know food is inside they will come back in.

The birth weight you have can't be correct but 2 week weights look good.

You're right! I put my decimal in the wrong place. Ugh! Sorry. I will go back and edit. Thank you!!
