Sleepy Chick?

Hey, I've had chickens now for about a year or so and I have 9 chicken, all different breeds. Recently I brought home two newbies- a lakenvelder (she's a couple months now) and an Ameraucana (she's about a month now). My Ameraucana has a crossed beak but she is still able to get food and drink water however, she hasn't been moving around much and I'll find her standing up sleeping in the yard. She always has a full belly, I'm just confused because I've raised babes before and they were all crazy with energy and she's just literally always sleeping. Could she be sick or maybe just stressed from the change in environment and other larger hens? (They've been at my house for about 2 weeks now)
 
Yes and I don't think she has anything internal, her poop is normal, everything seems fine inside however our coop has mites that we're cleaning out right now. I haven't found any mites on her and I know that that doesn't mean she's mite free but do you think that could be it? I just find it weird because my other chickens and young Lakenvelder don't act the same (sorry if this sounds stupid- I'm not experienced at all)
 
It looks like just blood but it doesn't look like any cocci infected pictures I've seen so I don't think it could be that. It did look similar to a picture of shedded intestinal lining. She's laying on her side now.
