Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

You have a gorgeous flock! ❤️ A bird is only deemed "failed to thrive" if it's struggling to maintain a healthy life. Lots of birds start out life as runts, and some runts eventually catch up in growth and size, however many runts that remain smaller live perfectly normal lives and are no different than the others. Best wishes with your flock! 🥰

Well said! We have one half the size of a regular silkie, and a couple that are substantially smaller. They were just hatched that way and live their lives normally.
