Listless Runt at 2.5 wks

[DenverBird]

We've got a runt in a batch of 25 Freedom Rangers that seems pretty listless and is getting walked over by the rest. He's about half the size of the rest and just doesn't seem to be real interested in feeding and being active like the others.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Separate him, give him some electrolytes in his water, and yogurt. And heat!!

I would separate as suggested above and if e doesn't improve in a couple days, cull.

If he is eatting,drinking,walking LIVING. Dont cull. IMHO

The only reason I suggested culling was b/c the OP said the bird wasn't interested in eating, and that usually signifies he's bad off. Separate him give him warmth electrolytes yogurt vitamins and if he doesn't improve THEN cull.
