I think people do not reply, not because they do not care, but because the people reading at the time did not have a ready answer. It is nice to say, hope your bird does ok, but not directly helpful to you or your bird. From your description- your bird sounded weak- not much to go on to give you any suggestions beyond the usual- keep her warm, offer her yummy food, vitamins and electrolytes. Glad you found help from a vet, and I hope she does well. Many ill young birds that are not exposed to infectious illness get sick around that age if their diet is deficient in vitamins or minerals, they have used up all of the stuff mom gave them in the yolk and are depending on their food entirely. Usually it is the food is too old and the vits have degraded. Fever does not fit with diet deficiency though. Hope the antibiotics? you have do the trick. Fever of 106 is of concern if this is real, but if the day is hot, and the car ride hot and stressful- this is not out of the realm of possibility of normal. If your chicken does not get better, look into the food, and take the temp at home and see if she has a repeatable fever.
