Possibly Sick Peachick

[HatchHatch]

Hey Guys,

I have a month old peachick who has been recently showing signs of sickness. The only signs I have seen are her poop is runny and brown colored and, she shivers/shakes sometimes even in 90+ Farenheit. She is also lighter than her one day older sibling. Also, her sibling deffinitely has more appetite than this peachick does (although, she does eat her meals consistently).

I'm not sure if she is sick or the heat is too much for her. I have Duramycin on hand but I'm not sure what to use it for. I also ordered Corid and it should be arriving in a few days. Please let me know what you guys think of these symptoms and if I should be worried.

What are you feeding her?
What kind of pen do you have them in like on or off the ground? Are they on shavings or what?
Are they with other birds? if so what kind?
Lets go from here

I feed her chick starter feed but she refuses to eat it dry, so I have to wet it with water and soften it up a little. I do change the food twice a day in case it goes bad from the heat. I also, sometimes, give her cooked rice which she seems to love. They are kept in a brooder at night with food, water, and heat. During the day, we let them roam outside. However, most of the outside area is cemented and the area with soil has potato, gourd, rose, and jasmine plants that she likes to peck on.


Here are some pictures of what the poop looks like.

Also, they are not kept with any other birds. There are pigeons and sparrows in our area, and I've seen the peachicks interacting with them several times. We have two adult peafowls but they are kept seperated from the peachicks.
