Lethargic 6 week old chick

Sorry I'm tech savvy but new to the "forum world" haha. I hope people are seeing my responses!

I've been doing stuff like hand feeding her worms while the others go willy billy over a bunch that I've tossed all over, and they have a big bucket with the nipple waterers, so I'm not too worried about her water. She will get right in there.

I just was hoping my giving her a little "special treatment" wouldn't make things worse for her. I just feel bad! My husband says she will be the biggest one, being a light brahma amongst RIR, Ameraucanas, barred rock, and a silkie...so maybe it'll get better then?
 
The big, heavy breeds probably cannot take heat as well as some others. Does she have enough shade and cooler place to lay around? Do you see others bullying her? Sometimes if you bring them in the house alone, you will see a big increase in their activity level. If so - that would point to her not being happy in her coop situation. rather than illness.

I hope she is doing well now.
