Hi all, I hatched out three silkie chicks just about a month ago, on the 18/12/21, and have been weighing them:
16/01/22
White: 89g
Brown: 92g
Grey: 166g (somehow)
23/01/22
White: 192g
Brown: 240g
Grey: 369g
I'm a bit worried about the white as she is consistently almost half the weight of the grey, who is the most dominant. What weight should the chicks be at a month? They all seem physically healthy (I check them daily). Attached are pictures of each to show the size difference (sorry for blur, I was more focused on making sure they didn't jump
). Grey had problems hatching, didn't think it'd even survive the night but now is the biggest? I don't know sexes yet but I think maybe Grey is a rooster? It's started to grow in a comb and wattles already and is highly likely its a bluebell/silkie cross- all three are potentially crossed as they were gotten from someone with multiple breeds (they have the odd feet so definitely silkie genes)
