My baby chick is not growing like the others!

Oh, no... I am sorry to hear that!

Some just don't make it. You did what you could to make your sweet little chick better and it was lucky to have you!

Thanks for this

sometimes chicks just don't do as well as others. that being said, im going to ask a couple questions.
are you feeding medicated starter? if not switch to it, it will probably help.
has it been chilled or stressed otherwise? if so it will have or have had pasty poop on its butt. if this is the case move it away from the other chicks, keep it warm and add some sugar (1tbs per qt.) or vinegar 1 tbs per gallon) if you use vinegar get the type with mother or unpasteurized.

I wish you the best of luck,
brian
