Chick is missing feathers.

[SJchickens]

My 4 week old Serama chick has been rather sickly compared to her sister since we brought her home. She does normal chick things, but tends to be less lively than her sister. For this I bought some nutri drench, thinking perhaps she needed a boost. We shall see if it helps.

The other funky thing about her is that she is MISSING most of her tail feathers, with only a few spindly ones left. I didn't see any signs of feather picking the day we got her. Perhaps she was just born that way? Is there anything I can give her to help her regrow lost feathers?

Thank you.

Bump. She seems to have improved with the nutri drench, but perhaps it's my imagination.
