Ok, so I have a small flock of 6 chicks (2 Rhode island reds, 2 Plymouth rock and 2 gold laced wyanodottes) and for the most part they are all normal chicks except one. One of my Rhode Island Reds named Anna.
She is eating and drinking and normal droppings for the most part, she has a bloody stool once but have been normal since, but when I take the chicks outside to do chick things she just stands there and looks very tired/lethargic. She will walk around in a same circle and clean herself but she will not follow the other or chase the other when they find bugs. She will peck around where she is but then gets sleepy like again. She has been like this now for almost 2 weeks, she seems fine in the brooder but once outside I really notice that she is different. I usually just end up holding her and letting her sleep in my hands while I watch and follow the others to keep an eye on them.
I'm just nervous, I thought maybe she was blind but she looks around like the others and finds her food just fine. I don't know if that's just how she is, laid back and mellow or if I should be worried and maybe have her checked out or something?
