Month Old Banties is not growing!

[CityChick15]

Help!

Two of my one month old banties (from the same local breeder, one Polish one Silkie) have not grown an ounce since I brought them home. They are loosing their down and growing feathers but have not gained any weight (yes I started weighing them).
I have done things to reduce stress (close monitoring of temperature to make sure its consistent and not too warm not too cold always between 75-80 f (under heating source) with heating lamps on one side of the brooder and no heating lamps on the other. Food and water are offered at both ends, I'm using a red light source for heat, offering protein rich foods like boiled egg, fresh water always available as well as chick feed).
The banties just wont get any bigger! There counterparts (who are only a few days older) have tripled in size (party because they are giant cochins).
Will they always be the size of a golf ball (only with feathers)??

HELP! Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

how old were they when you got them? banties will always be smaller.

banties are approximately 1/4-1/5 size of standard large fowl.

What feed are they getting? ARe you sure the bigger chicks are letting them eat?

I'd say it's a good sign if they're feathering out normally. Do you think it's partly a perspective thing, comparing them to their much larger flockmates??? It's good that you have food in two places. Do you see them eating???

I thought the same thing about my 5 week teeny banty she was getting her feather and eating and drinking but not getting bigger at a rate the other banty was and then all of the sudden she went from itty bitty teeny to just teeny i swear she grew a "foot" over night

My Banty Leghorn was so much smaller than the Bantam BR I got as 2 day-olds.
She had hardly grown her first 5-6 weeks. Then she started growing more rapidly over last summer. She is still small, and I like that about her.

Thank you all for your help! They are just soooo TINY!! I will keep and eye on her and hope she gets a growth spurt soon!

Taking photos as they grow is helpful to determine if they are growing.
