Sick chick?

[Alixzandrah]

This chick has been acting off for a few weeks now. Always sleepy. Usually by it self. Has a slightly curved beak eats fine drinks fine. It’s eyes just look weird to me and the behavior is odd. I’ve treated for coccidia as precaution but still the same. No signs of respiratory.

Is this the only chick in the coop, or is this the only one acting odd?
Age?
What are you feeding?
Have you seen it eat/drink/poop?
Is poop "normal", picture?
Checked for parasites?
It does look "puffy" ... Something does seem "off"
Check it's crop in the morning & evening, checking if it's crop fills and empties.

No there’s 6 others just fine. 8 weeks old. Feeing it a local made soy free non gmo grind feed. It eats a lot and drinks. Need to watch it poop. I haven’t checked for parasites. How would I do that. It’s very strange. Always sleepy and by it self. Just now went out to see if the others put themselves in for the night and she was out alone chirping in the corner.

"grind" feed?
Check for mites/lice ... look thru it's feathers, close to the skin by the vent, under wings, neck area ... Tiny crawly critters. Check it's crop, is it full during the day before bedtime & empty in the morning. Where are you located?

I ended up culling it. It was on deaths door this morning. Hoping whatever it has doesn’t spread to the others I had with it thank you for your responses!
