Hey yall. Im a little concerned about of my little chicks. Shes almost 2 months old. Shes a calm girl, always has been. On the easier side to pick up. The last few days now Ive started to notice that shes even more lethargic than usual. Just yesterday I saw her stand with her eyes closed for half an hour almost. Part of me was hoping shes just a ditsy girl, but Im starting to think somethings wrong. Idek where to start! Shes not jumping out of the mini coop we have them in like the rest and shes not running after the flock like the other ones. Anything you guys can think of? Thank you in advance!
 
What does her poop look like? Is she still eating and drinking? You should put some electrolyte in her water, that might perk her up.

I haven’t seen her eat, but her crop feels like there’s water in there. What’s the best way to put electrolytes in their water? I might have some sav-a-chick left will that work?
 
Her poop is watery. I put some sav-a-chick electrolytes in their water. I saw her eating and drinking. I’ll update in the morning with how she looks :)
 
She’s eating and drinking, but she’s still lethargic. She’s following the flock more now, even though she’s doing so weakly. She looks kinda fluffed up like she’s cold, so I brought her inside, but she got over it pretty quickly. She’s still standing still and not doing much. She’s started to put her head behind her wing. I was worried she might have wryneck, but that’s more violent. She’s drinking electrolyte water but idk how long I need to wait to expect results. Could there be anything else wrong? The weather has been off and on lately; could that be affecting her? It’s either bright and sunny or dark and cloudy. Thank you guys for any and everything :)
