5 week old chick behavior

[FriesianGroupie#1]

Hey!!

I have 4 5 week old 3/4 Ararucana 1/4 easter egger chicks and one chick loves to lie down flat on it's side! Chick seems just fine, eating and drinking just like its brothers/sisters but the others really dont lay flat on their sides! Twizzler, the chick in question, also seems to flop around and rub on anybody nearby, kinda like he/she is itchy and is using the others as scratching posts . .. is that really what Twizzler is doing? Twizzler isnt slow or sluggish, actually is the chunkiest chick of the four and runs and flies al the time.

Just a concerned mama 'hen' how knows nothing about chickens!
Thanks!

Is that the fastest developing? Could be scratching because os the new feathers coming it.

Bethune? As in SC?
