Six week old chick standing with head tucked and tail feathers down

[efowl24]

my chicks just turned six weeks old on Thursday. I just went got them from their brooder to move into their coop and once I put them in there, I noticed she is standing with her tail feathers down and her head kinda tucked in her neck. I haven’t seen her eat food or drink, but she ate mealworms just fine. Her crop doesn’t seem super full, and I think I saw her poop and it was really watery, but I can’t tell the color because of the dark bedding (coffee grounds). She’s otherwise walking around checking everything out and pecking at stuff.

Does anyone have any ideas? Anything I can give her?

Do you have electrolytes on hand? I'd give those to her.

You can treat her with Corid

How many chicks do you have? They can all drink from the Corid water as 6-8 weeks is the typical age for chicks to get sick from overabundance of coccidia.

I do! I’ve had electrolytes available to them for the past few days along with fresh regular water.

I have 7. She’s acting just fine today, tail feathers are back up and she’s having fun pecking around in the grass. I haven’t seen her poop since yesterday though, so I can’t comment on that. Should I still give Corid?

I would just to be on the safe side.
