Lethargic 4 day old chick

[Oakandfeather]

We normally buy direct from the store but our parents had some chicks shipped from cackle hatchery. There’s 1 that’s been lethargic since yesterday, they gave the chick electrolyte water, it perked up and then today is lethargic again. Was cold when they came home and so now I have it on a heating pad, gave it sugar water.
Anything else I can do?
We have never had sick chickens or chicks before.

For extra info: the brooder was sitting at 100 with an area to move away from the light,
After sugar water it started moving around alittle more and it pooped a watery brown stool, with a bit of yellow ish?
How often do I need to be making it drink, so that I don’t over disturb it

Raw egg yolk and scrambled egg is all I can think of. Do you mean the brooder heat is at 100 degrees?

The brooder it was in, but it was cold to the touch so it’s on a heating pad at the moment. Not direct contact

Okay.

The temp should be 95 ish, 100 seems a little high.

Directly under the light was 100, the cage has airflow, etc. we’ve had this set up for quite awhile
