What breed are these chicks?

Got these from somoen and not sure what type of chickens they are and if they are good egg layers or not?

You could give her a layer mix, it usually helps them gain weight. I wouldn't feed her all layer mix though, I would mix it in with what you are already feeding them. If you want you can give it to all of your chicks or just her which ever way. Sometimes it is called layer pellets. You could try cracked corn too. I never had under weight chickens but cracked corn had always been part of their diet.You might try mixing that in too. But different things work for different chickens.I had one chicken that was always on the small side but not under weight and she was always fed layer mix and cracked corn. You can try those and see if they help.

Yeah she's not underweight but just on the small side she loves cracked corn

O I didn't even realize I said underweight. Sorry not what I meant. But you could also try yogurt and see if that helps too. I have never tryed this but I know other people have. Even if it dosen't help her get bigger, it does make for a good treat.
 
are slow growers common?

sometimes, it isnt a big deal though. I have had a few other people tell me that theres grew a little slow. But i have had a lot of people tell me that their EEs are ahead in growth compared to their others. So is common, kind of, but it isnt a big deal. Just likw with humans you have some kids that grow faster than others. It isnt anything to be conserned abour really. But if you just really want her to get bigger because you are worried you can tru some of the things i told you before. Let me know how she does!
