Is she maybe trying to dust bathe? A long shot, but worth an ask.

I dont think so....I know they can do it possibly if stressed. But none of them are pick on her...I have thought about separating her with two calm ones.....but she seems hot. But I cant find my temp. Taker of corse

Lol, dust bathing is not a symptom of stress. In fact, the opposite.

Are you thinking fever? Like infection? There would be other symptoms.

Yes but the way she was doing it she was I literally had to dig her out she buried herself so I couldn't she her....like animals do when they do to die the other chickens didnt notice they step on top oh her.

The behavior described sounds exactly like dust bathing. Since OP seems to not be very knowledgeable about dustbathing, they may have misunderstood the chick's behavior. I think the chick looks perfectly healthy.

Interesting. She may have just been being weird. But it still sounds like dustbathing.
