Chick smaller than other

[Cholesterol man]

I have a flock of growing cockerels but one of them is very small than others. It has losing down like others but hasn't replaced them with feathers. I have feeding them homemade feed with meat , scrambled egg and sour milk occasionally. What should I do?

Okay, firstly, could you please send a picture? That would be helpful! Next, how old are they? If their 6-8 days or so, they could be going threw juenvile, her being small doesnt seem bad, it could simply be the breed or age. So how old they are would be helpful aswell

Yes pictures would help. This cockerel could likely be a bantam.

I agree, and it could be a early molt (juevinile) if their the oldest or something

The green one is the smallest compared to others

He doesn’t look much smaller. I can’t see very much from that picture, though.

It's night here so i can't take pictures standing. The age of all chickens are 11 weeks old and there breed is leghorn

Why is he green? are they dyed? Because i see a pink one in the corner. If so please dont dye them, that can be very unhealthy for the chickens health. If their 11 they should be feathered and not molting. But they could still be molting, He looks a average size, probably a different breed. the others could be picking on him causing him to loose feathers

Now you can clearly see them. He has no tail feathers also

The tail feathers im less worried about, some breeds dont have them. Like bantoms. Do you know if their all the same breed? Im thinking it could be a molt though
