[blackbelly] Thin, small lambs

I have something going on with two 5-month-old lambs. They are only the size of a 2-month old lamb we have and are skinny. Their hip-bones are protruding and they still have the lamb hair. I have wormed them, they graze all day but since they are keeping the pastures down short they get fed alfalfa hay morning and evening. I give them some cob several times a week. With all the food available I wouldn't think they would be thin or so small. The younger lamb is doing great. I have the lambs seperated from the adults now, so they do not have to get pushed around by them and am supplementing them with some nutradrench. Any suggestions as to what is going on??

Thank you,
