Help. Chicken won't open eyes or stand.

@casportpony she was under a heat lamp in the photo. She perked up for a bit, eyes open and chirping. Drank a bit if I dipped her beak. Now she is laying down quiet again but not lifeless like last night.

Can you post a new picture of her?

Okay, she looks much better. Is she in a warm room?

I would still get the Corid, and keep trying to coax her to drink fluids. Try placing a little chopped egg in front of her, or a small cup of wet chicken feed. You mentioned that your feed bag said "organic and scratch grains" on the label. I would check again (when you have some time, after this emergency this AM,) and make sure that your pullets are getting a chicken starter/grower feed. Scratch grains does not have enough protein or the balanced diet they need. It is fine to give a little scratch treat now and then, but they need a complete feed now for development.
Casportpony has some good info on learning to tube feed if she doesn't start drinking very soon.

@casportpony Yes. Still in a warm room with heat lamp. @Eggcessive till what age do we feed the starter feed? And do I just basically open her beak and shove the liquid down her throat? Only kind available near me at the moment would be the powder to mix at tractor supply.

Crop feeding videos

These are using a crop needle, not a plastic tube.

This one uses a tube like I use
