1st timer. 20 new chicks!

I have one that doesn't really seem to be growing? Is that normal that some are behind? It's wings aren't getting feathers like the others either. Now that the others have outgrown it, it has been having a harder time getting to the food and water. Such a passive little one. What should I do?

Put it and a couple more of the smallest in a separate pen.That should fix your problem.

Separation with a few hatchmates and see if he gets to eating.

Might want to switch up who is in the separate brooder every day so that you don't establish 2 separate groups where re-integration might be a problem...and hopefully you get the lil guy back into the main group soonest.

Thank you all! He seems to be doing a bit better. I am keeping an eye on him. Hopefully I will see some growth soon.
