I have a 2 day old chick that seems listless. Walks, eats and drinks but not with the fervor of her peers. Seems tired. I’m not sure what to do to help her. Started after day 1.

Try some good old fashioned sugar water. Electrolytes are also good. Sugar just tends to be more convenient.
 
Any certain ratio? Just put in big waterer or give to this one chick another method?
I just sprinkle like a pinch into a 1 cup measuring cup and let them all drink that down and go from there. This has worked well for me, so I don’t know many other methods.
