I have beautiful Blue Splash Marans chick that I got from MyPetChicken. We named her Grey. I believe she hatched either Sunday or Monday of last week. I have 17 chicks in the brooder and this chick doesn't behave like the others. She sleeps a lot and just generally seems to have low energy. When I change the food and water the other chicks all run from my hands but she doesn't seem bothered by it. She falls asleep in our hands as soon as we pick her up. If you place her by herself, she will stand up and peep but she doesn't run around or anything.
She appears to be eating and drinking normally, but she just seems off. She lays on her side sometimes and the other chicks peck at her, walk on her, or lay right on top of her. She's my favorite and I'm worried she's not going to make it.
Other than offering her some extra NutriDrench, is there anything I can do to help bolster her health? Are BS Marans chicks just exceedingly relaxed?
TIA!
