Check for blood in the stool. May have Coccidiosis. If you see bloody stool pick up amprolium at your local feed store and medicate the water with it. They should have it. If not try sulmet. Other than that it's hard to say.

sorry but what is a stool ?

I would get down to the feed store and get a bottle of Sulmet (sulfamethazine sodium) a drinking water solution. Put all chicks in or from that brooder on it as well as remove the sick one/s to an isolation pen /brooder box to wait this out. If using shavings for bedding change it out and start fresh. Clean the feed pan too. These little ones can be so filthy. The bottle has great directions for mixing and length of treatment.
