Sick chick?

[echickse]

My chicks are about 3 weeks old. One of them is acting normal, eating and drinking normally but she sits on the ground and pecks at it and then she’ll start almost fluffing her wings. She does this and then she’ll get up and act normal again. Some of the others do this but not as often as her. Should I be worried?

We have many chicks in brooders in our home and some chicks do that sort of like some adults do that. They pretend to be dustbathing.

When they stand around listlessly, fluffing their feathers, that's when they most likely have coccidiosis.
