Little update I went to check on the little chick this morning so nervous after the last time I checked on her last night she seemed to be doing worse and to my surprise and relief she ran out of the ecoglow while I was changing the food and water and has become a totally different chick over night her energy matches her siblings! I’m so happy
 
I’m new to chicks I have a couple week old EE and a few day old brahmas. All of the chicks have been super healthy, checked for pasty butt daily or multiple times a day, energetic, comfortable temp (not huddled or in seperate corners) and eating/drinking. Today one of the brahmas Seems so tired she falls asleep in my hands when I pick her up and is a little slower than the rest of the bunch, I gave her a small syringe of sugar water as much as she would take. Are some chicks just sleepier than others? Or is there anything I should do?
That’s tricky, from my experience I’ve had chicks that would not wake up but were still breathing that eventually passed BUT I’ve also had and currently have chicks that simply love to be held and can’t stay awake when being held. It’s really quite hard to tell, if her breathing is weird and she won’t wake up when moved around it could be concerning but if they’re anything like Blue or Muffin you could just have a very cuddly chick. I see you figured out she’s not alright but for future reference sometimes you just got a loving little guy!
