If it makes you feel any better - I have a normal male that hatched on 7/2 that hasn't taken his first meal yet. His brothers and sister have all had at least 3 meals already.

I'm keeping an eye on him, he's still active, alert, not too thin. At this point, I'm not concerned enough about him to consider assist feeding. If he hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks, then I'll assist feed (that's six weeks after hatch). Assist feed, not force feed.
