I'm trying to figure out what was wrong with my chick and if the others are in danger. My little olive egger chick has been very "sleepy" for the past week. It seemed like every time I peeked in, she was close to the heat lamp and sleeping while standing up. However, when I'd throw food in the dish, she was actively eating, digging in the dish, and was drinking as well. She wasn't ALWAYS sleeping, just more than any other chick I've had. No strange poops, and they've only been indoors in a brooder, except one older chick (5 weeks old) who had been outside a few times but due to a leg injury I brought her back in. There are six chicks in the brooder and all appear to be fine. They have vitamins and ACV in the water and they eat organic chick starter (they are all ravenous). Should I be worried about the rest of my chicks? Two of them are true araucana and it was such a hassle getting the eggs shipped so I'll be so sad if they die.
