Size of 6 Week Old Chicks?

[chickenlover89]

I have a barred rock, delaware, lavender araucana, and a blue wheaten ameraucana, what size should they be(i think mine are small for their age), pics would be very appreciated.

Mine are about 6 or 6 1/2 weeks old, so here's some pictures of my Barred Rocks and Cherry Eggers (Red Stars):

Since we're on our first flock, I keep ridiculously detailed photos of them as they matured, so if you're interested just scroll to the bottom and work on up....from 2 days old on to egg laying, I've got plenty of examples of size/feathering/etc.

oh yes they will get alot bigger than that...about 2-3 times as big as what they are now

They're at the right size, not underweight at all. Enjoy it though, because by 8 weeks, they'll get BIG!
