Does this chick look okay?

She’s about 6 weeks old, Buff Orpington, pretty sure she was the runt, ppl said failure to thrive but i don’t think so. Feathers are starting to grow in fairly quickly and idk if it’s her feathers or if there’s something wrong with her. Head is kind of tucked also. But eating and drinking

Usually when they have their heads tucked in and feathers ruffled it means that they aren't feeling well. I would try giving him some scrambled eggs or raw egg yolk and your could give him some electrolyte water. How does his poop look?

The chick looks like it doesn't feel well. Since it's feathered, monitor your temperature since I see your using the red brooder bulb meant for outdoors. Do not over heat your chicks.

Poop is fine. I can’t really tell if feathers are ruffled or if it’s just because they’re growing in

It doesn’t seem like it in the photo but they’re not even directly underneath the lamp, it was 75° with the lamp, i turned it off and it’s a steady 70° right now.

It's the posture and eyes of the chick that indicates it's well being.
