My little Cochin (SweetPea) doesn't appear to be growing like the other chicks. They are 2 weeks today. I've given her nutridrench, egg yoke,as well as vitamin B as she was not standing up or walking around as much either. She's eating drinking and pooping. I just worry as the other chicks seem to step over her or on her on occasion. Her sister didn't make the it and passed the 1st week, so wondering can this be failure to thrive?
Anything else I can try?

She's doesn't look smaller, but seems to be very slow to feather out compared to the rest.

What feed do you feed, & protein percentage?
 
Did you hatch these chicks or get them from a store/hatchery? I am wondering if she hatched later than the others??? Or it may just be slower to develop feathers for some reason.

Feed is good, but they maybe lacking something.

Something I keep on hand, is a feed Ration called Farmer's Helper UltraKibble, which I mixed into their feed occasionally.

I will have to check it out. I did buy some Rooster Booster which may be similar. I sprinkled assume in their feed this morning. We shall see if it helps
