Your little guy being last hatched is a week behind the first. If you want to see what a difference a week makes check out my post under Cockatiel pictures. "Todays' Baby Update" It shows two clutches. One is a week behind the others. The first one in the second clutch hatched 1 day after the last one in the first clutch. I would have to wonder if your small guy is warm enough to digest food properly. A heating pad on low with a towel over it under thier cage would probably help the little guy.
Query about one of my chicks
I have 3 baby chicks that are 4 weeks old. I have been handrearing them for 2 weeks. Two of them are growing well and I have taken them out of their brooder and are in a small cage. But the 3rd little one is a bit of a concern. He is only half the size of the others and doesnt have much of an appetite. Has anyone had this problem before and what do you think might be the cause?

I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes they just fail to thrive.
