Hi all,
I received 4 lavender orpington chicks from Meyer Hatchery the first week of February. All 15 chicks arrived healthy and were doing well until I noticed one was not growing as fast as the others. She is now about half the size of the rest and sort of hobbles when she walks, almost like she's stepping on her own toes and she goes very slowly. Here is the link to a video of her that shows what I'm talking about:

She has been seperated from the others for a few weeks now to ensure she's getting enough food and water. She is still in the brooder with a newer, smaller batch of chicks to keep her company for now. She's also been getting extra vitamins in her food and water.
What should I do??
