Hi, my 5 week old white plymouth rock chick seems sleepy. She is in a coop with 3 other 5 week old chicks. I have seen her eat and drink today. But, she seems to want to sleep with her head tucked into her feathers. I've taken her out of the coop and placed her in a box with a light, in my house.
Is this something to be concerned about?
Is there anything I can do?
 
Sleeping with the head tucked in the feathers is completely natural! You shouldn't be too worried unless more serious symptoms show up.

Hey, it looks like you're new on here!

Thank you, yes, I am. :)

Thank you, too, for the advice. Doyou think I should keep her (Francine) separated, or put her back in her "chick" coop?
