Do you have a heat source in their brooder ?

May just be exhausted from the journey, or malnutrition / dehydration. Doesn't look thin to me though. Could be cold, trying to warm itself up by resting in the heat or could be sick.

It's only been about 5 months since we ever had chicks and I think it has to be much hotter than that I think 90 to 95... Someone else please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to send out the wrong information but I'm pretty sure 80 is too cool.
