2 Day old silver laced wyandotte might be dying already

[boothin]

This morning all 4 chicks were fine. Tonight, I just checked them again and our silver laced wyandotte seems to not be doing well. She seems really sleepy, like she will stand still for a few seconds then doze off and fall over. She will also stand there with a sleepy look on her eyes then fall back onto her knees and just sit there. While the other chicks were walking around and eating and drinking, she would just walk up to one of the other chicks and lean up against it, putting her head down on its back and close her eyes. She also had a pasty butt that I cleaned when I started noticing that she was off. Temp in their brooder is around 97. Could she already be dying and are there any things I should try?

How old are chicks? Possible brooder is too hot.

How old are chicks? Possible brooder is too hot.

They are 2 days old, hatched monday. Also, the 97 temp is at the hottest spot in the brooder, and decreases as they move away, so they have a pretty wide range of temperatures they can sit at.
