Our hen gave birth to three chicks, two of them hatched in time, one was delayed by some hours but he managed to hatch by himself, then we noticed that eventhough as a baby he was the healthiest, he was growing really slow, like the other chicks are a rooster and a hen, they are both ready to be introduced to the bigger folks, a bit smaller but they are friendly with each other (also the larger rooster is kinda friendly to the younger one, does he know he's his son ?? Like he just stood Infront of him for some time the first time we brought them together then he just left him be, eventhough roosters are supposed to fight right?) But nvm the point is the younger chick, so like he's growing really slow, has crooked toes, I found out that he has vitamine deficiency, I did the helping pads for his toes, he's had the healing boots on for almost a week now, he seems to be eating better, became more energetic when we separated him and focused on him, but like today I found him nipping on his poop also?? It has nutrients does that mean he's lacking it? What best type of food he should eat? I normally focus on having one egg or an egg and a half a day as a constant with different types of vegetables or fruits as snacks through out the day, and we also removed the lamp from his brooder, is that a right thing to do? He's almost one month and a half old, and it's really hot where we live, so I didn't want him to have diahrea or die from hotness but idk what to do honestly 
help me make him survive pls, how can I have him growing up healthy he's so small and kinda weak, spends the whole day sitting unless I take him outside the brooder that's when he starts running around.
