Sounds like she's hot. Do you have a cool side to the brooder where she can get out of the heat if she wants to? You might try lowering the temp a bit.

The ideal temperature for a week old chick varies. My chicks are currently about 11 days old, and I have them down to the mid 80's for temperature. It's harder to tell with a lone chick, but when you have several, it's easier to tell if they're cold because they'll huddle together.

I would try lowering the temperature to about 90 to start, then if she still seems comfortable, lower it a bit more.

Your brooder should have a warm side and a cool side. That way the chick can choose the temperature that is the most comfortable.

What are you feeding it? Is there any chance you can get it some friends? It might be stressed and lonely.
