My New Hampshire Red chicks are nine weeks old, nearly ten, but they are still rather small. I mean, you see 10-week old chicks on the internet and they're practically chickens already. Ours have a few white patches on them and are only about 25cm in length from head to toe. Is it anything to worry about?

Some chicks grow much slower than others. As long as they are active and healthy and eating well i wouldn't worry over it. At 10 weeks most of my chicks still seem fairly small. Internet photos don't always show good size perspective.
 
Thanks for the replies- I've noticed they don't seem to eat the chick food anymore unless they're starving - they prefer scraps or whatever they can find in the garden. I'll try newly bought pullet feed tonight and see if they like it.
