Baby chick not growing

[red mommy]

I just got 12 baby chicks from Rural King about a week ago and one of my babies doesn’t appear to be growing. It’s a similar situation to jbalducci, she eats and drinks but not like the others. She lets me hold and cuddle her, unlike the others who fuss. She would sit in my hand all day if I’d let her. Please someone tell me I’m worrying for nothing, I love her dearly. I apologize for the pic. They’re in a brooder with the red lamp light, she is the one next to the tomato and the yellow Favorelle. The two Americaunas in the pic are huge compared to the rest of them but she’s still a bit smaller then the rest. I included 2 comparison photos that were taken the other day.

I am having the same issue. I had gotten 10 chicks, 4 have died, 5 are healthy and growing normally and one is not quite right. She wants to sleep most of the day but is eating and drinking and her feathers are coming in. She just won’t grow or play!
Has anyone had any luck using nutri-drench? I have some that should be shipped to my house by tomorrow. I am hoping this helps...

I have an update to that one, my Peanut, survived, she had pasty but and as soon as my husband cleaned her up she was immediately a brand new chick! She’s growing into such an amazing little bird. She is the friendliest most trusting one of the flock and appears to be a leader even though she’s smaller than the rest. About a week or two after I posted this I got 4 black Silkies from R.K. One of our chicks my husband named Nugget struggled, was always cold, peeping, had constant pasty butt, etc. we tried everything including Nutri Drench but we still lost her, her siblings are doing great but I do not know what happened with her. She was so sweet.

I also have a similar situation with my EE from MyPetChicken she is fine she’s super energetic, eating, drinking, all of it. She’s growing feathers, slower than the others but they are still growing. However she just won’t grow that much or not at all it worries me a bit she’s spunky and turning into a beautiful pullet. Here’s a picture of her and her sister from a week ago when they were about 3 weeks old.

I am having an issue with my chick, I can't tell if it is going to be growing anymore As well as whether it will be a pullet or a cockerel. It was basically given to me for free, the owner said she's just not growing like the rest of the chick's. I have also notice that it has little or no feathers under both of her wings. The skin looks very healthy and pink and I can't find any sign of bugs or injuries but it appears that since I've gotten her a couple of weeks ago it has been bald in those areas.
Any ideas??

I have a cockerel, ( not the chick posted on this thread ) thats took a very long time to become fully feathered. He's now 18 weeks old and still smaller than the rest. For me it wqs genetics because this breed is known to sometimes have bad genetics from hatcheries. For yours it could be a number of things. I'd wait for advice from some more experienced with this though.

10 weeks

13 weeks

17 weeks

I've got a pair of Light Brahma chicks that are worlds apart in development too. One is growing nicely along with the other babies I got at the same time and has great feathering. One is the same size as her sister,but has almost no feathers with mostly baby chick fluff and skin showing. They are 7 weeks old currently and I'd like to move them into the small coop I planned to use for grow out, but don't want to remove this one from the heat source, nor separate her from her "sisters". She's so big though I'm not even sure if she's still using the heat plate or just cuddling with the others to stay warm. I'm guessing it's a genetic fluke since she eats, drinks, and is active the same as the others. Is this a thing with Light Brahma or just not great genetics from Meyer Hatchery?

Can you get some more photos of her beak and face?
What are you feeding?

I have a TINY little chick from Tractor Supply. We bought two Wyandotte’s and two Red ? on 4/2/21. The two Wyandotte’s and one Red ? are growing like crazy-cakes and the one poor little chick is as tiny as the day we got her. She is wobbly, but she eats, drinks, and poops normally. She still seems to need a heat source and is a screamer when anything is out of sorts. She sleeps in the pocket of my robe at night and only then makes the most pleasant sounds. Makes me wonder if she wants to be back in her little egg shell! I want to know the outcomes of other chicks with similar issues. Is there hope?
