I just wanted to see if my chickens are underweight. They seem smaller to other chickens there age. ( they are 4-5 months old )

Its difficult to tell just from pictures with birds. When you pick them up, if you can feel the keel bone very prominently, then they're underweight.

Here's a pretty helpful guide below.

They might be a little skinny- when you feel their chest, how easily can you feel better their breast bones) If they’re very prominent, it means that they’re too thin.
