I have 3 chicks (two roos, one hen) that are tiny compared to any of my other chicks the same age. I bought them all on the same day, and all are within a day or two of each other according to the seller. However, I have one red hen, and two mixbreed roos that are staying tiny. The two roos are crowing (Its soooo cute!) and chest bumping (I think they are similar breed, just slightly different looking) and they are adorable, as is the hen. The roos are um... gettin' them some from Lil Red... So I don't think it is that they are sick or anything. I have given extra feed and water and made sure to keep the cage clean in case it was something causing them not to grow. However... they seem healthy and just are small. I can't put them in with anyone else, because they are so tiny. Should I be worried? Or did I just manage to get 3 runts out of 12 chicks I bought?
