Possibly half-bantam being picked on; will it work out?

A lot of people have seemed to have smaller birds this year. I myself had 3 I worried about getting to the right size. One I kept with chicks 4 weeks younger and they out grew her for a few weeks. She just took forever to grow

Another I was sure was a bantam instead of the standards I ordered. Wouldn't really notice now, but she still is much smaller than her siblings

The third is finally hitting a growth spurt

All were from April this year. Give them some time.

That is hopeful! We got all of ours the last week of March and she is probably 1/2 the size of everyone still. We didn't notice the difference until they were about 10-12 weeks old that she was "falling behind". I wonder why this seemed to be more common this year than previous years; wonder if it had anything to do with the "covid chicken boom"

My last one literally just started to get bigger than a bantam last week, and he's supposed to be a 4 pound bird
