one of eleven cornish x not thriving?

[shaft0463]

I ordered ten cornish x chicks from Cackle, and all arrived healthy and wonderful. They sent an extra, so I have 11. They are maybe a month old.

Ten of the 11 are thriving. Eating well, healthy, friendly, feathering out nicely. One of them is not, at all. It's the size these guys were at about a week, and it is barely feathered out. I separated it as soon as I realized it wasn't doing well, so it's been in with smaller chicks so that it didn't get pushed away from the food. It's still not thriving.

Any ideas?

Sometimes you just get a runt ... does it act sickly of anything ?? Maybe they tossed in a different breed as your extra..

i have yet to NOT get a few runts in w/ my orders. as long as the little guy is eating and drinking i wouldn't worry.. some are just small.
