I hatched 9 BCM chicks on April 14. They are now 9 weeks old and 2 of them are half the size of the others. They eat, drink, run, play and poop normally. They do seem to rest a little more and are easier to catch when it's time to go in at night. Is this something I should be concerned...
Hey all. I have some five week old purebred BCM chicks. I’m 90% sure about 90% of the chicks lol except this one. Comb is slightly darker pink than the other pullets but wattles are pink/red. Size is similar to the other pullets in the group. I’m thinking late blooming cockerel? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this.
I got them on March 7th
Let me know if you need...
I bought these cuties and was told one was a jersey giant, and the others maybe EE and BYM. I’m newer to chickens, actually wondering if you could help Id who is what and then potentially let me the the potential breeds of the x’s? One more thing lol… if anyone knows approx age that would be...
