Hi i hatched out two Serama chicks. They are 6 days old. They are being raised with Mama in the chicken coop in a separte broody box. I have a concern on one. It is so tiny its having a hard time walking I think because of its size. I have been feeding them med chick starter grinded up. I go check every few hrs and all it wants to do is sit under mama when it does come out it kind just cherps and sits there I hold it and it closes it eyes. Do you think its sick????? They other one is running around pecking and eating. My question is is there anything special I can do to perk it up vitamins special food Thank you
 
Serama once hatched are still hard to raise if very tiny. Perhaps feed extra protein in the form of yogurt and gamebird feed ( crushed finely).

Check it for pasty butt and make sure its vent is not plugged with old "crap" for want of a better word.

HOPe you get more ideas soon.
