Hello everyone. I am new here. I recently relocated to Washington state from Phoenix. I had chickens in Phoenix that I rehomed before I relocated so these aren't my first chickens. But it's the first time I've had a sick one. I have 2 buff orpingtons, 2 Columbian wyandottes and 2 silver laced polish. They are about 7-8 weeks old. Today we found one of the polish in the brooder unable to stand and the others were picking on her. I have separated her, put a heat lamp on her and am trying to get electrolytes in her. Could she be in shock? And from what? I know they are at an age where they should be in their coop outside with more room but we have some crazy snow storms this week and I didn't want to shock them by throwing them out when it's that cold. We have 2 27 gallon totes that are connected with a tunnel so they have a lot of room. What can I do? Help
