Why did I loose a chick???

Hello,
I had the same thing happen to me. So when I got more, I watched them like a hawk (pun intended) 😆. I noticed one was not running from me so I pulled her out and fed her water with sugar and salt mixed with a lil bit of food (I got the recipe for electrolyte water online). I gave her 2-3 drops every 2 hours for a day. Then, I placed a few friends in with her when she started acting normal. I think she was stressed or intimidated, but they can be recovered if that is all it is, and it's not easy to tell by appearance. However, I have noticed the ones lower on the pecking order are not as aggressive witg the food. I single them out and feed them separately often so I don't have that issue again. And thankfully I haven't. Hope that helps. And google "electrolyte water for chickens" or you can buy a package at TSC
