No it is not typical. Your question was if you are doing something wrong. Probably, yes.

Are you sure they are a cornish cross and not a cornish? What kind of cornish cross are they, fast or slow? What/how are you feeding them? I've never weighed my birds at 4 weeks but I'm pretty sure they were well over 2 1/2 lbs by 4 wks.

Mine were 3-ish pounds at 4 weeks and 6-8 pounds at 8 weeks.



What type of chickens exactly are they?
Where did you get them?
What are you feeding them?
How much?
What does their pen/ brooder/ coop look like?
What's the weather been like?
How much water do they drink?
Do they have room to run around?
Are they acting sickly?
