6 week old with head hunched

[farmmum03]

Help! I have 4 brown hylines that we have reared from day olds and today put into a new coup with our 4 week old ross chickens. It's a lot bigger and they all seem to be enjoying having a large area to run around outside. One is a lot quieter than all the others. She has her head hunched down in her shoulders and has spent quite a bit of time just sitting in one spot. She's been like this for a couple of days. Nothing obvious on her body, I think she is still eating and drinking ok... anyone know what this is and what to do? Thanks

Birds with cocci will often hunch down as if cold and refuse to eat or drink. In the US I would recommend Corid, a brand of amprolium; I have no idea whether you can get that. Here are some threads; one has a home remedy.
