Chick smaller than other

I'm not sure. We didn't bought them from hatchery instead from a nearby shop. They said it was dyed leghorn chicks and 2 days old. At the time we bought them, he was a bit bigger than other two. But after a few weeks he suffered from a disease which caused him to be lethargic, eyes closed and droopy wings. So we hand feeded him and soon he recovered but after he looks like stopped growing. 😢

Oh no, thats horrible, typically with “dyes” like that (that dye is obviously not natural. It looks very artifical) they are dyed before born. In the egg, which can be extremely harmful to them
