Silkies growing small

[steven91]

Hi. My silkies are 9 weeks and they are growing small. They are healthy and active, but growing small. I was feeding 18% protein and now they're on 20% protein. Any suggestions? Thanks

silkies are bantams....and chicks do not get full grown as soon as they get their feathers.

I have seen other silkie chicks same age as mine, but way bigger. Should I be worried? Thanks for reply

They look fine to me, maybe some more protein?

Maybe the others you have seen are oversize. Silkies are meant to be bantams. In other countries they generally have just large fowl silkies. I've never seen them personally so don't know just How large.
