I had/have the same problem with one of my 2.5 wk old BRs. I just take him out a couple times a day and let him eat and drink in a smaller "brooder" so that I can make sure he's eating and drinking. I watched him with the other chicks and they were pushing him away from the feeder. I keep him with everybody else, just separate him a few times so he can eat in peace! After one day of doing that, he perked right up!

I had a post on here and some people said to feed him mashed hard boiled egg yolk with the feed- I just haven't gotten to it yet....

Hope this helps!

I would just keep an eye on her for now. She may catch up. Just make sure the others aren't bullying her...
