So I have a little bantam easter egger here, and she is basically the smallest one(even smaller than her bantam sister)... She isn't drinking or eating as much, and she is five days old. It looks like she has a problem standing because she is always flat on her legs like that... Is there anything I can do? Please help!!

I have her on a heating pad right now... Should I put her back in the brooder? In her brooder there is an EcoGlow, and three other healthy chicks. She is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order, and we suspect she was smushed under the wait of her four sisters for about two days. She chirps just fine, but she can't walk as easily as her other sisters, and keeps falling forward. She sometimes drinks when I put her next to the water, and tries to eat. All of my chicks were vaccinated for Marek's disease, and are on medicated Coccidiosis feed.One of my other chicks passed away this morning, and I'm feeling so frustrated that I can't doing anything to help them. Will someone help me out? She is also my profile pic..

. I am feeding them chick starter medicated against coccidiosis, I haven't put anything in there water. I have them under an ecoglow, which gives off a decent amount of heat, and there are currently four chicks inside the brooder. I have pine shavings as the bedding, and one feeder and one waterer. I tried dipping her beak in water, but she won't drink. I scattered food around her, but she won't eat. She just huddles there, breathing. Her head is droopy, and she can't stand.
