Chick with no feathers?

Can you moisten the flock raiser in a small bowl in addition to the dry crumbles? A little scrambled egg and perhaps a chick vitamin might help make a little difference.
I will try that and see if I can use it to figure out how much he's eating at the least. He flips all the crumbles out of the feeder so it's hard to tell exactly how much he's eating other than to feel his crop. As I mentioned before, I can feel some food in there but it's like the right side of his crop is firm and the left side is squishy/empty.
 
I'd try giving him the wet mash and vitamins, see how that goes. He may be having difficulty for some reason managing the crumbles.

Sometimes, it's hard to know what's causing issues like this, if it's nutrition or genetics or ??

Time will tell how this plays out. It sounds like he's gaining weight which is a positive direction.
When he was a few days old, I noticed he had some eye discharge so I separated him from his mama & sibling to treat the eye infection. A few days later, I slipped him back under his mom with no trouble. A week or so later, a hawk or falcon swiped his sibling who made the fatal error of slipping outside the fenced run. So for at least 3+ weeks after that, he was the sole chick his mom was caring for. Eventually she just stopped and he was left to fend for himself. I have 2 other chicks born at the same time to other broodies. Both are fully feathered and bigger than him. As for his genetics, I can't be certain of his parentage but all my roosters are extremely large (10 - 13 lbs easily). I would guess his true mom is a Black Australorp based upon his coloring but that's just an educated guess.

Given the fact that he's around 5-6 weeks old now, I'm guessing this has to be some kind of genetic defect. I wonder if he will grow feathers at all?
 
Little bit of an update. The little patooty won't eat mealworms or scrambled eggs. He does, however, like the Flock Raiser turned into a mash. He seems to eat that up really well.

I've had him indoors nearly 2 weeks now. He's probably around 2 months old at this point. He's just NOW starting to get some pin feathers....

Another update... He's now 2 1/2 months old. Finally getting some feathers but looking very straggly. I moved him off the mash and back onto dry food. Hoping to transition him soon back to the flock. I've just been waiting for him to be a little more filled in and this triple digit heat to abate a little bit. He's been in my sunroom which is warmer than the house, probably upper 70s to 80 degrees, but that's still far cooler than outside. I don't want him to get a shock by the temperature difference. It's supposed to cool down slightly next week.

Sadly, I'm nearly certain now that he's a rooster which means he'll be butchered with the others in October/November. Probably for the best anyway if this delay is some kind of genetic defect.
 
Another week has gone by and our little delayed friend is about 90% feathered now. Still very very far behind the others his age. However I decided to move him back outdoors today. Since he appears to be a rooster, I put him in a side pen in the bachelor coop. There's 10 roosters in there....all in line to be butchered this fall. All of them are lined up at the fence to get a look-see at the little guy. He's all puffed up and ready to take them on despite being a quarter of their size.... 😂 So I've decided to name him Napoleon while he's still around. He did make the mistake of putting his head through the fence and nearly lost it. Hoping he learned not to do that again... 👀 I'll go back outside in a bit and check on him. They shouldn't be able to bother him unless he puts his head through the fence....
