Lethargic Black Australorp chick (1 wk old)

I would alternate between the Sav A Chick and plain fresh water during the day.
If you happen to have Poultry Nutri-Drench, give her 2-3 drops twice a day.
She's tiny, so see if she will eat wet chick starter any better.

What is your daytime temps?

She's only a week plus a couple of days, so likely not Coccidiosis, just needs a boost. It wouldn't hurt to have Corid on hand though.

For video, upload to YouTube and provide a link, the BYC upload does not work.

Alrighty here

I was trying to wait until she layed down but she didn't want to

Double check, and make sure the crop is emptying, and that it doesn't have pasty butt.

I checked when she first started acting up and just double checked but no pasty but around here

I have 9 17-day old chicks. After about a week and a half I noticed that one tiny chick had barely grown at all and all the other chicks were twice her size. She seemed to get shoved out of the group at feeding time and I noticed her standing in the corners and being quiet most of the time.
I put a barrier in their brooder and separated the tiny one along with another more gentle chick. I put electrolytes and vitamins in their water, gave them (and the others too) a hard boiled egg yolk every day. They went crazy over that.
I gave the tiny chick two drops of Poly-vi-sol baby vitamins each morning.
After a week my tiny chick was more energetic and perky and I think she is starting to grow.
She is still the littlest one but she is much more feisty and has a great appetite.

Update:

So what i am beginning to think is that there may be something wrong with her leg that I didnt notice before...

Another thing is that -when they are outside- she always tries to go under the others and tries to lay with them...

And she chirps all the time

In the first video, she acts normal to me. The one with her lifting her leg, I would take a look to see if there's any swelling of that joint.

Glad to hear she's got a buddy
