Weird little runt

Are you sure it's not eating or drinking? If so, it's unkind to keep it around, even with you hand feeding it. I would cull, personally. There's likely something wrong internally that's causing this failure to thrive. Sorry your little chick isn't doing well. :(
 
We recently had a runt hatch. Little bugger wouldn't give up and eventually ate and drank regularly. Though smaller, it feathered out and is one of the flock. Still a bit early to say what will become of her when she's old enough to lay eggs. What ended up happening to yours?

I’ve got a runty one right now as well. Seems we’ll just quite small compared to the others. Waiting to see what happens with it.

It passed away the next day.
