My chicks wings are droopy!?

[EmChole]

Hello! I just got my first chicks this week. I had one chick a couple days ago that didn’t make it.(out of 10) She was considerably smaller than the others, I noticed her wings were droopy and she stayed in one corner most of the time. She was eating and drinking but acting very weak. This morning I have another chick who is beginning to act the same. She is still running around, eating, drinking, but is starting to let her wings hang. She had a poop build up this morning so I washed her up and dried her. I just would like to know if this is something I should worry about? I’d like to get ahead of it before anything happens!! Thanks!

Sounds like cocci

She is barely hanging on now. Can’t even hold her head up. Got worse very very fast

What kind of container are you keeping them in and what's the temperature in the warmest spot?

Are you feeding medicated feed or were they vaccinated for coccidiosis?

They’re in a large tote, they have pine shavings as a bedding. I don’t have a thermometer in the home but the other don’t act cold or hot they seem comfortable

They were not vaccinated, they are eating medicated chick feed
