Since I brought my chicks home, one has been so calm and docile compared to the others. I've been worried she was sick. She seems like she's a runt compared to the others. She tends to sleep more than the others as well. She is eating and drinking like normal, but I worry she's not well. Is this normal or is there I can do to help her thrive? She's my fav of the group and I'd like to help her. Ty!
 
I have one just like that. The younger chicks outgrew her quickly. She has always been very sweet, not minding if you handle her etc. She quickly became my favorite, probably for that reason. I was worried about her too because she just wasn't as crazy as the others. But at about 5 weeks old she is fine. She is still docile but growing and healthy.
 
Ty! Fingers crossed this is how she will be.
I am going to treat her for coccidiosis just incase since she is showing quite a few symptoms of it. Lethargy, sleeping, fluffed feathers, watery stool/no blood that I've seen.
