How much should a chick weigh?

How much on average does a 2 day old chick weigh?

Not sure... What kind of chick?
A bantum and a standard are not going to be the same average.

Why are you wondering?

 

[Zippy007]

Large fowl, and just to make sure they are healthy, never done this before and the one was weak at the beginning.

I don't think you should worry too much about the wieght. Worry about whether they are all eating, drinking, moving, and pooping.
Chicks don't have to eat for 2-3 days after hatching because they absorb the yolk.

If you are weighing them just make sure the weight keeps going up.

Good luck!

Ok, well they are doing all of the above so im happy i just wondered if they needed to be a certain "healthy" weight or not.
Many thanks
