Okay, folks, take a gander at my other post too

I need answers.

I've been noticing one of my EEs I got on the 8th is the same size as when I got her. She's adorable, drinks, moves around, but doesn't seem to want to join the others when it's time to eat. However, she'll hop on a piece of bread and go to town on that. Her buddy which I got on the same day is bigger and eats well. I've been scattering chick feed on the bread in the hopes she gets some nutrition into her. Otherwise, she just pecks at whatever is on the ground and isn't interested in the three feed stations I've put up. She's drinking fine. No poo on her back end. Just not interested in the current fare.

What should I do?

I would sprinkle the crumbles right on the floor of the brooder (I do this for the first 3 days anyway, on papertowels). You can also sprinkle some ground cayenne pepper on the food to help attrack her attention.
