Failure to thrive ?? or just a bigger faster growing sibling?

Here they are at a couple days old or so

The black baby is about the same size as the yellow one maybe a bit bigger even.

Here they are at almost 2 weeks old ( wow I thought they were older )

the little black one is now almost half the size of the other one , the black one is a mix of some sort with featherd feet but only 4 toes the yellow one is a silky with featherd feet and 5 toes.
The black one is the one I have been haveing crop issues with.

There are several things that could be going on here. You could have a bantam. You could just have chicks who are growing at different rates.

I would just give some live culture plain yogurt, to be sure they can digest their food well, and supportive care, and see how it goes.
