Help!! Chicks not growing!!

[Ilovemyladies!]

I have 6 RIR/Wyandotte chicks that are almost 5 weeks old. They are the size of 3 wk old chicks! They have feathers but they are soooo small! Their combs are very tiny also. In early spring I had some NHR but they grew sooo fast! Why are they so small?!

**Any input would be great**
Thanks!

I'm sure they're just fine! Are they your eggs? If they came from some place else, they might be bantams.

Nope. I received them from a friend. I'll ask them if they are bantams. Thanks!

If they are eating and drinking and look overall healthy then they will be just fine, many people have little chicks who seem to not grow, but turn out fine!

I agree if they eating, drinking and pooping ok, then I wouldn't worry.

The guy said they were gonna be small like their parents. So no worries now!

Thanks to everyone who replied!!
