Chick-Failure to Thrive?

[MesMama]

I have a chick that I’m concerned about. She’s a month old and is smaller than the others. She breathes kind of hard and is lethargic, sleeps while the others are doing chick things. She eats and drinks normally. It’s just odd.
Thoughts?

Sure, what are you wanting to see? Her size compared to the others?

Yes and a shot of her sleeping while the others are "doing chick things". Could be something, could be nothing. Maybe you got one bantam by mistake???? it happens

That could be, but the weird breathing and lethargy just confuse me. It’s dark here now but I can take some pics tomorrow, maybe a video too?
But yeah earlier she was sitting on the feeder (eye roll lol!) and the others were scratching around, some were eating feed beside her, a couple were sitting on the roost. But no one else was sleeping, just weird

How is the chick today? Still breathing badly? Photos? I hope you didn't loose her overnight . . . .

Sorry, we had a crazy weekend :/ So she seems to be better, definitely not worse. I took a video the other day and will post it below Thank you for your concern <3

You need to post videos to a site that hosts them, like youtube, and just post the link here.
