    think I got a cockrel chick instead of a pullet

    I would think it is more likely that the chick is sort of at the bottom of the pecking order and could just be not eating as Much since it could be getting bullied. That would explain the feathers and behavior.Every batch has one of those no matter what so I wouldn't worry to much. Watch for...
