We've got the same thing going on, 7 chicks - 1 is a runt. These are the first chicks we've ever had and about a week and a half in, I could tell something was different and she was small etc. Now they are three weeks old and the 6 others are easily 3 times as big as the little one. She seems to eat and drink ok and doesn't seem to get picked on, as someone else said she actually seems to get protected or cuddled a little by the others. She's supposed to be a silver laced wyandotte and looks almost exactly like felidaets photos. She sleeps a little more than the others and seeks the warmer spots than the others do to. I guess it's just wait and see what happens... ours came from MPC and were here overnight, so no long trip or anything for them.
