Got our 6 chicks Thursday morning, the barnevelder chick has been active and moving around with the other chicks but not quite as much. She’s acting more lethargic than the rest. While previously I was just keeping an eye on her I noticed this morning her wings are droopy, she’s not holding them up close to her body like the rest of the chicks. Is there anything I can do to help her? Is there anything that she needs that I haven’t given her? I offered them GroGel +B the first day. They’ve been eating starter chick feed from Small Pet Select “Garden Goodness Starter Feed” and starter grit. They have plain fresh water. They have Marek’s vaccine. And I have a package of Vital-pack vitamins I could give them in some water as well. We have the cozy coop stand heater. Thank you!

in the pic she’s in the middle.

I think she's too cold. The cozy coop heater is not good for brooders, its not hot enough. Can you get a heat lamp?
