Noticed one of our chicks not acting right. 4 week old silkie acting more lethargic and weak. picked her up a couple of times and seems like she is throwing up. Also with watery non-bloody poop. The 5 other babies seem perfectly fine. I took her out, cleaned out the bedding and water in the brooder and put the healthy ones back in. have her in a little container with a heater, food/water. Can I get her through this?

She has always seemingly been a runt. Got her and one other silkie at the same time. the other one is already twice her size. we also have 2 week old standard sized chicks in there with them. Could this be an underlying problem and not an infectious disease? I don't want to lose this little girl, but I REALLY don't want to lose all of them!!

I did separate her and tried to give her yolk, electrolyte water and coccidia treatment. Unfortunately she didn’t make the night 😭. The other babies seem perfectly fine. I also added coccidia treatment to their water last night
