We brought home 5 new chicks last weekend, one of the 5 doesn't seem to be doing well. She spends a lot of time with her eyes closed, standing by herself. She is not as active as the others. I noticed runny poop numerous times and thought it might be coccidiosis, so I started them on Corod today, but realized the starter feed my daughter picked up is already medicated, so if that is the problem is that overkill? Any other ideas what might be going on or how I can help her? I don't want to lose her 
. When we bought them we were told they were "about" a week old. Her wings are feathering but she is smaller and less active than the rest. She is still eating and drinking but not very enthusiastically. Please help!
Edited to add: I wanted to move this to the illness/disease thread as it may be more appropriate there but I couldn't figure out how to delete it here. If someone can let me know or a moderator can delete I would appreciate, thank you!

. She was able to stand and walk around when I stood her back up though, I think her leg(s) are weak? I've definitely been keeping the room nice and warm it's between 90-95 in there 
. The other chicks don't seem overheated though so that's good!
