sick 6 week old Ameraucana fluffed and inactive

[Mamaquack6]

We let the chicks out yesterday to explore the area where their run will be and my ameraucana was just standing there, no pecking and scratching. I kept her in a brooder in the house overnight trying to give her electrolytes. She didn't poop overnight. I don't see anything obvious as far as her vent or sores. Thoughts?

Sorry the pic is sideways.

How does her crop feel?

I would suspect crop issue or coccidia. If crop feels okay, give corid for coccidia. Needs to be done asap as they can decline quickly.

Also she is beautiful

Puffed up and inactive chicks around this age is usually coccidiosis. Treat with corid asap.
Dosage:
9.6% Liquid corid: 2 tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Make a new batch daily and make this their only source of water. You can give the sickest chick a drop or two of the undiluted corid straight from the bottle 1-2 times a day for 3 days, this is along with the chick drinking the corid water. I prefer the liquid corid for this reason but if you can only find the 20% powder corid the dosage is 1.5 tsp per gallon of water.

It does feel like a swollen bump. I just gave her vegetable oil and will message her softly in a bit. Thank you! Lets hope that's it and it works! Her poop has been normal so I don't think coccidia, but I bought some corid just in case.

Okay I am treating her like she has a swollen crop but I have corid arriving today in a couple of hours. I can't get it any sooner. I have a lot of stuff coming today I should have had on hand already. I forgot how sensitive chicks can be. Thank you both so much!
