This is our first year raising Cornish Cross chickens. We got 36 chicks 5 weeks ago today. They have all done really well (except for the stiff one we found on day 2), so down to 35. I noticed this week that a couple of the chickens are small.... The smallest being 2 lbs:(. The rest range from 3.25 up to 4.5. I am feeding them finishing feed (Game feed non medicated) as of yesterday. Any suggestions on how to catch up a couple of the birds?? Or is this normal?

! Pleased you joined our flock! All I can think is that the two little ones just aren't getting their share at the feeder...is this a possibility? Not sure how to make them bulk them up except isolate them from the others and give them their own food. Good luck to you!
 
That could be!!! I just got bigger feeders this week. They had two of the rectangular chick feeders before with the tops taken off.
