Have 3 pregnant platys should I keep the new born fry with the mother or seperate into a breeding tank.
 
The mother ( and father for that matter) will eat the babies. I'd separate them and or add lots of hiding places for the fry
 
I have 1 other platy fry on his own in a breeding tank who is 2 weeks old maybe 3 would they be ok with this.

And some of them are like undeveloped and lying on the bother are these done for or will the grow.

Thanks
 
Personally if I see a fry that is deformed I feed it to my beta , not cruel because I'd rather not let the fish have to live with the deformity . +1 on the crushed flakes
