Is my chick sick or injured?

Hey y'all!

New chick owner here. Today, one of my four chicks (the youngest) has stopped walking. She will flap her wings, but won't use her legs. She will drink water and eat feed if I hold it up to her beak. I've been putting electrolytes and probiotics in their water since I brought them home two weeks ago. I've separated her from the other chicks, but I'm just not sure how to proceed from here. I've attached two pictures showing their brooding box and how she prefers to rest now. Any advice would be appreciated.

Possibly a riboflavin deficiency. Try dissolving a B-complex tablet in the water and having all the chicks drink it. Mix one tablet to one cup water each day.

You can dispense with the elctrolytes. Not necessary beyond the first few days.
