I got some chicks from TSC last week and I have this one(I think an Easter egger) that seems a little off…she’s alert and eats and drinks, wings aren’t droopy, and poop seems normal. But when she’s walks she seems off balance and lays to eat. I’m wondering if I should get some vitamins or something else for her what are your thoughts?

TIA!!
 
Being from the tractor supply I might think she may have been dropped at some point, or knocked around on the way to the store. Hopefully she heals and gets stronger.

You can add some electrolyte to the water for few days. Giving an individual chick vitamins can be tricky as they can aspirate easily and die, so I'd probably not do that.

A good fresh chick starter should give her what she needs. You can always give some scrambled eggs as a treat. They are full of everything a growing chick needs. It can take a few days for them to start to really eat them, than they go nuts for them.
