5 week old Speckled Sussex seem small for age?

[Benanjoe]

Hi all, I have 2 very sweet 5 week old Speckled Sussex chicks. They seem a bit small for their age. They eat, play, and drink normally. One was having some issue with diarrhea, which I treated with Corid. I also switched their feed so we will see if this helps. I raised 4 BO chicks last year and they seemed to mature faster. Just wondering your thoughts. I put a 15 ounce can next to her for reference lol!

As long as they are healthy, I wouldn't worry about their size. Some chicks mature more slowly than others, and perhaps these are just on the slower side. They are adorable, by the way!
