So I had 8 chicks born between 4 /14-4/16. I lost one 3 days ago and there is still one that I'm very concerned about. Like the one I lost 3 days ago this one is extremely tiny. Like half the size of the other chicks including one born after it. Its like it hasn't grown at all since it hatched, like in humans it would be called failure to thrive. I see it eating and drinking but it doesn't do that nearly as much as the other healthy looking chicks. Is there anything that I can do for this chick to try and keep it from passing too? Is this somewhat common or did I screw up somewhere with raising them? They aren't even "mine", I incubated and hatched them for a family friend so I feel really bad that 4 eggs didn't make it and now one chick passed and more then likely a 2nd chick will too. ![Frown :( :(](/styles/byc-smilies/sad.png)
