Thank you! I did give them some hard boiled egg with the chick starter feed mixed in. They loved it for the first two days, then kinda stopped eating it. I also did an electrolyte in the water, and later did a little apple cider vinegar. All of it seemed to help my runt. The bigger chicks don't seem to go after her in the brooder, but they do step on her and just kinda act like she's not there. It's like it's better for her to be separate, but better for the flock to keep them all together! I think I will just have them all be together for most of the day, and seperate at night to make sure, for now....

Definitely try the Poultry Nutri-drench or some Rooster Booster. It will help give her energy. Just one drop to the side of the beak and let her swallow. For such a tiny chick, give it just once or twice a day for a few days. Too much will give her diarrhea so watch her closely.
