In the Brooder

I have a (maybe) 3 day old barred rock baby chick that seems to be behind compared to the 8 other chicks. I just got them from Tractor Supply yesterday, and treated her for pasty butt this morning.
She’s not running around, and is constantly sleeping. She just kind of stands there and goes sleep with her head down, occasionally goes to get water, but she’s not eating. I’m worried she’s too weak to eat right now.
I’m thinking of giving her some raw egg yolk and Nutridrench to see if that will help, seeing as it really can’t hurt, right?
How much Nutridrench should I give her directly?
I also have electrolytes in their water, and she’s drinking that, so can I still give the egg yolk and Nutridrench?
I don’t want to separate her, simply because I don’t have another place/brooder I can set up inside. But, the other chicks seems to trample her a bit and she doesn’t hang out with the others very much.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
She’s the barred rock in the pic, not a turken
