My chick, Poka, female, 1 and half month old.
She walked like a duck unlike my other chick.
She is IN A BIG DIFFERENCE with my other chick in term of size.
I dun know what is going on with her. I bring her out for a walk.
She walks for four to five steps, and doesnt wanna walk anymore.
She sits down and doesnt move.
What should I do??

Here's a picture. they kept moving so i cnt get a clear photo. Anyway, that one on my hand is the weak one. You can see that she is half the size of the other chick although i bought two of them together and have almos exact same size when they r younger. Why is she so weak and small?? It cant even grip my hand tightly unlike the big ones. any help?
 
There probably nothing you can do for the chick. Some times there are problems with them that we can't see, and they fail to thrive. Heart defects, digestive tract problems could be among the possible causes. You can try a vitamin boost. It may help if she isn't absorbing enough.
 
I just had to cull a chick due to that... its not easy but there isnt anything you can really do to help them after the first few days of life.... They continue to go down hill till the pass away.
