Mine eat like hogs. Are yours eating good? I've had some 13 week olds that weighed 2.3 lbs.

Hatchery leghorns tend to be rather small birds.

They eat too much but what is weird to me is that they were the same weight a month ago

When I weigh my chickens, I just weigh one of the biggest hens out of that age group so I don't have to weigh them all. Younger chickens, I'll just grab one of those out of their age group. So basically what I record is going to be the bigger bird.
