She was one of the smallest (of only 5--lol) to begin with but was spunkier it seemed when I got her--wed at a day old! Since wed she's sort of been the sleepiest--I made egg for them, dropped a teeny bit of poly-vi-sol in their water and don't know what else to do!!!!!!!!!! The other 5 haven't picked on her before until today

I've seen a couple of them peck her and she just submits

and then goes onto sleeping again

NO pasty butt...never had poop on her fuzzy hiney until today and I got it off right away, kept her warm and put her back in brooder!????? HELP

UPDATE: Made her and the others mash with some plain yogurt--and she perked up and started fighting with the others some so now there not as bossy with her! ((you go girl!)) AND still sleeps alot more seperate from the others but gets up///eats//drinks///stretches and will fly her wings a little with everyone on there crazy spree's??? IDK--it's just hard since I'm a 1st timer and really don't know what I'm looking at! Mother's instict just says she's a little weaker obviously...anyone?

you can always set up a separate brooder to keep it separated for a few days to keep it from getting picked on. do you have a red light bulb in the brooder lamp? that keeps them from being cannibals to each other.
 
yep---red lights in the brooder...thanks--i didn't want to seperate them but i might have too! should i give her one of the others? a friend? or just seperate her? i did go in and check on her and suprisingly the leader of the pack so far was snuggled against her
