Chicks not growing

[Ray987]

Hello

These brahmas are 2 month old yet poorly growing they look like 15 days old chicks I have 8 more which are double the size same hatch also other breeds I hatched with these ones are double/triple the size why?

That is incredibly odd. Their faces are long like they are older but their bodies are small and not fully feathered. I know this isn’t an injury but would either @Wyorp Rock or @Eggcessive maybe know what’s going on?

 

[Ray987]

Some of the same hatch

Also I wanna ask is this a good size for a 80 days old chick? (Baladi chick)

 

[Ray987]

115 days old

Looks like failure to thrive. What's their diet? Did you breed these or did you buy them?

Soft corn, boiled eggs, bulgar wheat, free ranging same as the other chicks from the same hatch, I bought the eggs and incubated them the hatch rate for the Brahmas was absolutely terrible out of 50 eggs only 13 hatched meanwhile the other eggs for the other breeds I had in there 80% hatched

And what should I do with them?

Where are you located in the world?

Were the eggs a barnyard mix, not pure Brahmas right?

Sorry

Sorry for the late reply, I would say they're not pure I'm located in Syria
I have a 2 weeks old Baladi chicks currently they're the size of 70 days old brahma chicks now, not sure what to do with them or how to help them

All you can do is provide them with food/water and see that they are eating/drinking o.k.

Some birds fail to thrive or they have poor genetics. I would not use this group for breeding.
