Which one has the issues and what are the issues?

Little runt. Hatched 2 days late and needed help out of the egg. She said it needed brought to food and water all the time and kept getting trampled by the hatchmates.
Honestly, here it's behaving normally. Blue has made sure it eats and drinks when she does. I have kept a close eye on it this morning and it's doing fine.

Hi GtC - hope all is ok with you and your chooks. Also hope your weather is good, hopefully you aren't socked in with snow!

No snow here but it's absolutely cold. I can't stand it anymore. Unnecessarily windy and you can't drag me anywhere in this frigid weather. It's sunny too, which is absolutely pointless since I'm not feeling any heat outside and the UV index is currently 2 and it'll be at around 3 later around noon. I can't even imagine what March is going to be like. Marches in PA have always been cold, which does not make me too happy, but Monday, we're expecting temperatures in the 50's, so good grief. I can't wait for summer. Moving on, I brought Grandma in the house yesterday and because she has been inside the coop for so long, she's lost weight and looks a bit skinny, not to mention she smells like hay since we put hay in there to make sure they aren't freezing. Otherwise, the others are doing okay.

I will need to remove the cup carrier toy from the brooder. The special needs chick got confused and went under it, and got cold. I warmed it up in my hands and put it under the brooder plate to hopefully get it back to the right temperature.
I guess I need to see if I have my practice perches still, or just make some new ones.

That little one could melt an iceberg heart
