Hey guys! New to baby chicks and new to this page. But we recently bought some baby chicks, and one of our Rhode Island reds is worrying me. When he's with the rest of the chicks he just stands around with his eyes closed and kind of sways back and forth (tried to find a thread about it, but like I said I'm new to this page and there's a lot on here lol). But whenever we take him out and have him by himself he acts like he's okay, he'll eat and drink but when he's with the others I don't think he's eating/drinking much. I'm not sure if it's normal for them to act like this, but i don't want anything to happen to him. We just brought him inside to make sure he eats and drinks enough but I don't want to keep him away too long because I don't want the other chicks to pick on him when we put him back in. His vent was gunked up but we cleaned it and at first that seemed to brighten him up a little, but he's back to doing the same. Thanks for reading and any and all advice is very much appreciated
