New to chicks just a few questions

What is your regular feed?

I use nutrena country feeds medicated chick starter

Ah, how is she doing now? I agree, some just don't seem to "thrive" - I had a number of them last year that did that...

I have found, even in the same hatch, there may be different growth rates. Also, seem to remember that male/female will also feather in differently - not sure if breeds or just some.

Only certain breeds and/or 'lines'.

She’s doing a lot better. I put her back in with the rest she’s running around now and acting like a normal chick now. She’s just gotta grow
