I had an obvious runt my very first hatch, I let it live.
I have an obvious runt this hatch and I am debating on not letting it live.

Sounds like a appetizer. Let it live and cook it later. I would not breed it.

When you say small, you are talking in relation to the hatch mates. In theory, this line was bred for size, so small may be normal that will be culled for missing standard. I'll be selecting for size also. Since I can only compare hatch mates, I'm not sure what small is. My smallest one has feet issues. Maybe related? Attitude and activity seem normal.

Anyway, this is baseline for me. We will learn from here.

Yes this one runty is smaller than it's hatch mates. Not by too much but I notice it.
I'll try to get pics.

Gee. Thanks for sharing???

Are you gonna be as obsessive about "foam" as you are about poop? Should we be worried?

I'll stick to just poop.
The foam disappears so it's not going to bother me.
