Might be time to introduce him to his brothers by the other mothers out in the coop....

Yeah, he's going out tonight. Mama and her two babies moved to their larger quarters just a bit ago. Mama's choice, not mine. When I had the coop open she started going ballistic trying to lead her babies outside, so I shoo'd all the other birds out of the coop and let her and her babies wander around. When it was time to go back to the nest, I just directed her to the bigger one.

The second baby is out. He was partially shrink-wrapped. He's a HUGE chick! He has enormous feet and already got one of them stuck in the grill on the water reservoir. Yes, we helped him a little bit. I couldn't stand by and watch him die.

Good for you!!! His largeness was probably hindering his efforts. Partially shrink wrapped... Did it look much like this?
