Sick Chick Please HELP

Also we have separated her because the others are just pecking at her and jumping on her and even caused a sore on here back.
 
Is she puffed up not and walking around much?

We have 9 and everyone else is doing fine. There brooder is right a 95 on the warm end and 85 of the cool. They are eating medicated chick starter.
The brooder is a little too warm. It should have a spot for warming up that is at about 85F and cooler for the rest.
If you separated her, how are you keeping her warm?
Do you have any Nutri-drench or Rooster Booster poultry cell? If you do, give the lethargic one a few drops along the right side of her beak and let her swallow it. Cook an egg and offer that to her.
I would give them all Corid water. Do you have any Corid and do you know the dilution amounts?
 

The chick shown looks to be suffering from coccidiosis.

You need Corid. You can pick it up at Tractor supply in either liquid or powder. I would get the liquid. It looks like this:

I would drench her directly in addition to giving all your chicks Corid water.

If you get the 9.6% liquid Corid, give her 0.1 ml for three days. Drip it along the right side of her beak and encourage her to swallow it.

Give all of them, her included, Corid water. Dilute 2 tsp. of 9.6% Corid in a gallon of water and make that their only water supply. Make a fresh batch daily. Treat for 5 days.
I would also recommend you give them probiotics for at least 10 days to help with gut repair.
If she has coccidiosis, she should show significant improvement within 24 hrs of her first drench.

Good luck.
 
I agree with @DobieLover to give some NutriDrench orally, and get all chicks started on Corid. Dosage is 2 tsp or 10 ml of Corid Liquid per gallon of water for 5-7 days as the only source of water. At first you can also give a couple of drops of undiluted Corid orally twice a day as well as giving it the treated water. Put some in the feed in a small bowl as well. You can buy Corid at TSC and other feed stores.
 
Ignore my worn out look between church, fussy 3 year old and sick chick I'm exhausted. But this is my sick baby girl.

I would strongly recommend being at your local Tractor Supply as soon as the door opens tomorrow and getting the liquid Corid. Drench that chick as soon as you get home then mix up the Corid water and get all of them started on it ASAP.

Coccidiosis can easily kill her and the rest of your flock. It is very important to start treatment immediately.

Good luck with your chicks. I hope your sick one makes a complete recovery.
