BCM chicks with stunted growth

[Scarroll316]

I hatched 9 BCM chicks on April 14. They are now 9 weeks old and 2 of them are half the size of the others. They eat, drink, run, play and poop normally. They do seem to rest a little more and are easier to catch when it's time to go in at night. Is this something I should be concerned about? Will their quality of life be any less than the others or should I be concerned about certain health problems? I tried to capture the size comparison in the pics, also included a pic of me holding one of them.

They could be BCM bantams perhaps

I've seen some people with different breeds who had failure to thrive chicks who eventually caught up. I would try to separate them once a day for concentrated treats time for extra protein.

I hatched them myself. I did purchase the eggs from a local farmer, but all the eggs were the same size.

I will do this. I saw another post that said to give scrambled eggs. I also have silkies who lay tiny eggs, so I am going to start giving them each a silky egg every day.
