Hello! I found one of my babies not doing well today. She can’t walk and her peep is really faint like she lost her voice. I’ve syringed her fluids so she’s hydrated. Has anyone experienced this before? Please help!

Hello!
I bought this beauty to add to my flock. Thinking she was a "she" barred Plymouth Rock. BUT seems so much taller and bigger than my older Plymouth rocks. She also has yellow legs and my other don't. I'm nervous she might be a rooster?
