I just got this chick due to her(?) looking very stressed out and lower in the pecking order. She was kicking her feet fine when I held her but she won’t move when I set her down. I put her under my heat light and she laid there till she was panting so I moved her and she’s still just laying there. Is she stressed from the move? Or is she sick?

After watching her and giving her some electrolytes and mealworms she’s doing SO much better, walking around, stretching. Even got a tail shake and drank some water.
She’s eating just fine but is looking around the floor for mealworms and absolutely loved my silkie chick Ganyu.
She’s still all puffed up and kind of stiff looking with lowered wings but I’m hoping that gets better as she adjusts to her new home

Her water is kinda gross in this picture but I did clean it out- I just waited till I cleaned the entire cage. The chicks that I just booted outside made such a mess

Now I’m wondering after looking more at her wings… are her wing feathers just freakishly long? Because they are long enough to almost cover her vent which is much longer than I’ve ever seen.
Are they not drooping? Just scary long?
