Runt of the flock

My littlest chickie 'drools' when she eats (ever so slightly) and seems to sleep a lot. Any advice?

how old is she? Is she eating and drinking well and active like the other chicks. Anything off about her poo? Baby chicks do sleep a lot and can even fall asleep standing. Runt usually refers to a sickly chick.

There are always a biggest and a smallest chick in any group. Do you think she is showing signs of illness? You may want to post in detail on "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread.
