3 month old chick not growing

[Annettetweedy]

Not a true emergency but I do need help I’m guessing with age but I know they are atleast 3-4 months old. I got a variety of chicks to sat up my spring hatchings from and two of my sizzle Cochin chick aren’t growing at all they seem healthy they eat they have weight to them and are active but both stay in the coop all day (unless i shoo them out) and have barely grown at all. All the other breeds with the and similar in age have grown 10 times the size of the these two little ones. Why aren’t they growing? Anything I can do to help them grow?

Do you have pictures?

Maybe supplement their feed with Farmer's Helper, UltraKibble? It's higher protein, & contains a good amount of vitamins, minerals, & probiotics.

Here’s some pics tried to get some of the others in for size comparison

I'd give the UltraKibble a try, they look like they maybe stunted in growth.

What do you feed them?

Did you purchase these all as chicks? Are these two bantams rather than large fowl?
Temperature can be an issue with frizzles due to their feathers being curled away from the body, they will use an enormous amount of energy trying to stay warm, their metabolisms can be running much faster than normal. The one in particular looks to be feathering out poorly and may be a frazzle rather than a frizzle. That happens when two frizzles are bred together and the resulting bird gets two copies of the frizzle gene, which can result in very brittle feathers and poor feathering.

There is a good article on frizzles here also, see post #9:

What do you feed them?

I feed Kambach chick starter. And give these two little ones lots of extra treats meal worms, scrambled eggs, and some fruits trying to beef them up.

They don’t act sickly at all and they are some of the feistiest when you pick them up just wasn’t sure what to do to help them the rest of the flock is gotten quite bigger and I don’t want them picked on cause they are easy targets but don’t want to separate them as I’m afraid J won’t be able to intergrate them back in later

Also they stay in a heat ed coop all the time they never go out so they are in heat 24/7 and it’s hasn’t gotten cold here yet some days it’s almost stifling in the coop it’s warm out and then the heat lamp as well

If you got a variety deal, they may be bantams.

I'll get a picture of my UltraKibble, for you after I'm done eating lunch.
It has almost 30% protien.

They were hatched from their own flock.
