Sometimes chicks just fail to thrive. It could be any number of things. It's hard, I know--very sad. But it sometimes just happens... :-/ I'm very sorry.

It could be many different things, it's sad, but that's nature. Some just are weak or for other reasons just can't make it.

Wishing you all the best with the rest of your flock. And, welcome to BYC!

Sorry for the loss. It could have been any number of things. I had 2 chicks that never grew past the size of about 1 week olds. They were tiny but were eating and drinking for a few weeks. I culled them at about 4 weeks because they seemed to be declining.
