Hello, everyone!
I currently have five six-week-old chicks. I have been noticing recently that one of them has been staying away from the other four chicks. She will always want to lay down near the water and food and not get up from there for a while. She will interact with the other chickens and she is not lethargic or showing any signs of illness. The first time I noticed it the other four were laying down together under the heat lamp and she was all alone near the waterer and feeder. To my knowledge, she is eating and drinking fine. Should I be concerned, or does this have something to do with her personality? Maybe she just likes being alone?
