InIs this the normal growth rate? Or did someone play a little loose with the term "day old chicks"?
Orpington pulletts with two Brahma pulletts and one Brahma cockeral. The Orpington pulletts are twice as big at 10 or 11 weeks.

What do you mean with "a little loose with the term "day old chicks"?
Are you thinking they were sold as day old but were older?
Its pretty obvious if a chick is a day old or not by feather growth. Not sure how you wouldn't of known. :confused:
They look pretty normal as far as I can see. Orpingtons surely don't look twice as big.

This is only my second flock of baby chicks. Seemed to me, and admittedly I did not give them constant attention, it was a week or two before I really noticed feathers.
I am also by, no means any kind of photographer, lol. But in person the difference is; to my untrained eyes; quite different.
