Do you have a scrap of fleece material? Something soft, plush, and warm? Make sure the chick has been fed, its crop is full, then wrap it in the fleece like a cocoon. It can be completely covered so it's dark in its little envelope. Place it with the others so it is able to hear them. Be sure it's getting the proper heat, and see if that calms it down for tonight.

Or tuck it under your chin until it calms down. That also helps.

I had had it separated and once it got up to walk and went over to food is when it would not stop chirping anymore do that is when I put it back in with the other 4.

So I had placed it back in with the others and watched them for several hours and they were just looking at it or ignoring it.
I made sure it had eaten as much as I could get it to and drank several drops...it's been a very hard day trying to get it to take the dropper and not drowning it.
I got them all situated and lights out and they seem to all be quiet now ...even the lil sick one.
I'm not sure whether to go and check and see if it is still alive or just let it be.

Let it be. You could use some rest, as well as the little one.

@Gammas Bearded Babies how is she this morning?

OMGeeze she is like 75% better or even more!!!
No chirping all night and I usually can't sleep but I was exhausted! I got up early to check on em and I had to start counting the 5 or em cuz I had a hard time telling which one it was for a while. She's just holding her head to the side a little but otherwise not fallin down upside down or chirping loudly or anything!
I put the vit e and b into their mash so I'd have better luck getting it in her and figured it can't hurt the others right? Especially since one is a runt and struggling a bit anyways.
I haven't seen her drink water yet and I wonder if it is cuz it is so low to the floor of brooder?
I am so grateful for all yalls assistance!!!

The vitamin E is a softgel, which can be punctured. The B complex tablet can be crushed, and 1/4 tablet dissolved in the smallest amount of water and fed with a dropper or needle less syringe. Until you get additional vitamins give the Poultry Cell 1 ml daily with a dropper.

I actually found a vit B complex in liquid dropper form! I gave little less than .5ml in all their mash which they usually don't eat completely before I throw it out cuz it dries out (sometimes I accidentally make more than I should trying to get right consistency). Can I give em too much?

Only the vitamin e oil can be overdosed but only after a few days.

That's great! If it's liquid form, you can put a drop on the right side of her beak so she can drink some directly. Chicks at this age can die very quickly.
