Welcome to Backyardchickens.com aka BYC! :frow
We are so glad you joined our flock.
This chick looks very ill, can you take it to a vet?

Hi @Flora2000 Welcome To BYC

How is your chick doing?
Do you notice any of those scabs inside the beak as well?
She may have Fowl Pox which is spread by mosquitoes, you can try putting Iodine on the scabs to help them heal and dry up. Don't pick off the scabs. Keep her water station cleaned daily. If she is not eating and drinking - do the best you can to keep her hydrated. Offer some poultry vitamins to her water and see that she eats her chick starter. If you have vet care, that's always best.
