Hey everyone, I am not new to chickens but I do have a chick with an issue I have not encountered before so I’m not quite sure what it needs. She is about four weeks old and for the last 4 to 5 days has just been standing with her feathers slightly fluffed out and sleeping more often than not. She does not engage with the other chicks and she’s barely eating and drinking. I’ve gotten her to take some electrolyte water and it’s not her favorite so she will peep and wiggle around during that but otherwise, she just stands there and sleeps. I have looked her over thoroughly several times and do not see anything obvious wrong on the outside. Any ideas what might be going on?
I finally separated her from the others last night because I was worried she might start getting picked on so she is inside the house with me where I can keep a close eye on her.
Thanks for any insight.
