My lil silkie chick is kinda lethargic today it got up to 92 degrees(Fahrenheit) yesterday but since they're in the barn where it's cool it was probably 75-80 degrees for them. It just started being lethargic today(also could have happened overnight) so I'm hoping to catch it early if it is a illness. They are still eating and drinking good and they also tried to plan an escape heist out of their indoor run(under the gate). I will post back tomorrow if they are better. Thanks for any replies!
 
Is that chick eating and drinking normally? How are the poops looking? Do you have Corid powder or liquid in case of possible coccidiosis? It is safe to use, so if there is any doubt, I would use it. Try to get the chick to drink some fluids, and offer some crumbles and a little moistened feed.
 
it is eating and drinking good I will get some corid I will give them some wet feed as for the poop it all looks normal, and it cant be depression because its in with other chicks,it might just be the heat lately its in with buff Orpingtons and its the only silkie there so it might just not be used to the heat
