This is a 10 week ( ish ) banty mixed breed .... it was in the flock with reg. sized chickens ( her mama sat on a clutch of banty eggs in a bush ! ) and I caught some hens stepping on her and pecking on her !!compared to the others it is squatty looking in body shape... smaller .... teteers when standing, but walk/runs .... sits alot ..... tail seems to be tucking under ( balance ? ) ....eating and drinking fine .... I have it separated, gave it the poly with no iron ..... any ides ? can I do more ?!
 
She might not be getting enough to eat and drink due to being bullied or low in pecking order. But it could be an illness such as coccidiosis. I would place her inside a wire dog crate with her own food and water, but keep her with her flock inside the coop or run. Try feeding some moist feed with a bit of scrambled egg or tuna. Consider treating her for possible coccidiosis with Corid in her water 2 tsp per gallon for 7 days. Consider worming her with Valbazen or SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer. What do you feed her?
