Chick not growing ~ is there anything else I can do?

[GaNewChick]

White crested black polish ~ 3 weeks old. I've had it 2 weeks. The other one has doubled in size as well as the two red sex links I bought. The little one has had pasty butt, I've cleaned it and added molasses to the water yesterday. How many days to I let them drink the molasses? Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks everyone!

Yea ~ I don't think this one is going to make it either. Sleeping more than the others but does have periods of much energy.

Sorry to hear about yours too.

... found her sleeping on her side one morning and knew she was going so i put her in her own box so the others wouldnt know what happened ... lol but i think they still know

I heard from somewhere on here that you shouldn't feed them molasses for a pasty butt
