of my 12 chickens one of them was kind of sickly when I got it. I figured it would die but it pulled through.

but it's half the size of everyone else in the litter and at almost 50 days old, still has more fluff than feathers and is overall scraggly looking.

I know at least 2 of my chickens are roosters and they are starting to pick on this runt. Pecking it really hard on the head and neck and making its comb bleed (I kinda think the runt is also a roo)

What do I do???
:(

Here's a picture of him. his eyes always look really sad. And he also cries a lot.

 
That is very sad. You need to separate this little guy and heal him up. Once he is healed, you need to find some other chicken that will keep him company and gets along with him. Don't leave him in with the others. Poor little guy.
