Welcome! Seems like there's always one, right? I hope your chick does okay for you. Sounds like you have a beautiful flock! We just added SLW this year, they are so beautiful!

Welcome to BYC, Hope your flock grows to be happy and healthy!

If you have an extra heat lamp, infra red preferred, you might keep this one in a warmer brooder. Upper 90s for temps. Weak babies need more heat. Infra red is healing as well.

I do have it in the "baby" brooder with a red heat lamp with a few other special chicks just in case

Here is Chicken Nugget (the black one) that is the chick having issues. The red one is Captain (its missing an eye) and the two Silkies are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Omgoodness, she is tiny!! Watch she doesn't get trampled by the others. Thanks for sharing this photo!

Isn't she! Thankfully Captain acts like a mom and the Tweedles tend to just make sure she doesn't keep egg on her face. Once the other three get to the "i can fly" stage i'll move them to the larger pop up brooder with the lamp that way they have more room to run around and cant fly out but still be warm and I can keep an eye on them. I'm refuse to move them outside with my other babies till I know Chicken Nugget can eat and drink on its own and dont want to separate them since Captain and the Tweedles are helping to keep an eye on it.

Sounds like she is in perfect hands with you! There isn't much else you can do other than the supportive care you are giving her. Hopefully her body responds soon and she starts to catch up to the others. Great job, keep up the fabulous job you are doing!
