Hello All! We just received 17 chicks from a big online hatchery last week on Wednesday and have had an awesome time until last night.
I have a chick that I am worried is not doing well. It is not moving as much as the others and seem to be breathing rapidly. I am posting a video to see if anyone can help identify what might be wrong. Does not have pasty butt. Water has had save-a-chick electrolyte and probiotic since we got them, and feeding Dumor 20% non medicated starter feed.
As of this morning this chick is still alive, just not running around vigorously like the others are.

Is it eating and drinking, have you seen it poop? Any chance it is plugged up? You aren't using shavings so it shouldn't be...

Is it moving as it needs from heat to cooler areas?
