Chocolate poult not growing

[April Petroski]

I have a 2.5 week old poult that isn't growing like the rest of my little flock. It's very lethargic like a new poult. I do see it eat, drink and poop. The rest don't pick on it and I have 2 feeders and 2 waterers so there is always room for it to eat or drink. The other 9 are growing like weeds and can fly in and out of their brooder in my greenhouse as they please but not teeny tiny little one. Should I separate him/her from the rest? Is there anything I can or should supplement to give growing a kick in the butt? When I first noticed it wasn't growing like the others, I expected it to die but it keeps holding on. The poult is now about half the size of the rest. Thanks!

It is quite possible that your poult is suffering from coccidiosis. You may want to get some Corid to treat it with.

X2 on the coccidiosis.
