Just wondering....I got an additional 3 chicks from the same place I got my first 4 (local co-op, all very healthy and energetic). They were n a separate brooder, of course, and I lost one little partridge silkie. 
I went and picked up another little black silkie from the same batch that to keep it at 3 for the littles.
I watched them all for a bit before choosing one. This chick was energetic, normal, moving around well, good weight, etc. there were quite a few chicks in that bin, and I'm wondering, could the newbie be all tuckered out from holding its own in such a big crowd?
She's been eating, drinking with the others since she got here earlier this afternoon, but is kinda quiet and snoozing a bit. I gave her a drop of Nutri drench, and there are probiotics/vitamins in the water. I'm hoping she's just catchin up on some much needed rest without being jostled around.
Thoughts?
