Thin Cockerel Not Growing?

[WallyBirdie]

One of my little turkens just stopped growing. The other ones (same age) are well over twice the size and weight.
I noticed before that he was smaller, but I thought he was either growing slow, or maybe he was a runt.
There is no shortage of food and water. They have shelter and heat and can free range during the day.
There are no signs of mites or parasites. Crop seems normal.

I picked him up and he just feels light and a little boney. He doesn't look or act unhealthy.

I've pulled him from the flock to make sure he's getting enough to eat. I was worried that maybe the other chickens were bullying him and not letting him eat.

This might not be an emergency, but... is there anything I should be wary of?

Might just need the extra TLC! But I would check for worms,maybe a vet can do a fecal test for you.

Good call. Thank you so much! I tend to be over protective. I'll definitely give him some special attention and look into worms. If that's all, then I'm relieved!

Sometimes it is what it is and there isn't a problem, a disease, parasite or lack of food. I raise large fowl heritage cornish. I have a cockerel and a pullet that appear to be bantam sized when compared to the offspring that hatched before and after they did.

Not a thing wrong with them. Full of type but have no value in my breeding or exhibition string. Would be DQ'ed being too small for large fowl and too big for bantam classes but dang are they pretty.
