New chicken mom - please help

[jjanna1226]

Hi! I have 1 month old chicks and one of the silkies is much smaller and isn’t growing at the same pace. A couple days ago she was acting very tired and when I looked at her butt it was covered in white poop. I’ve always had the chicks on chick boost electrolytes in the water to try to avoid this. I have her separated from the others and been giving her daily baths. And now I’ve been giving her chicken e-lixer by strong animals. If this doesn’t work I don’t know what else to do.

Do they also have plain water available?

No they don’t. But she does now. Thank u

When I was cleaning her butt, it looked like saliva came out of her mouth. Am I holding her wrong to clean her butt?

She also has a strong smell that reminds me of kidney disease bc it’s ammoniaish. Anything I can do? She has 2 kinds of water available. One plain and another one with additives with electrolytes
