Sorry your friend faces this. :(

My thoughts have already been covered pretty well by the other posters.

I might add that maybe a chicken sling could help..

Sorry about the chick.
I agree with @Eggcessive it could be a leg deformity or since this is a broiler, the legs are just not able to support her any more.
Does she note any bloat to the abdomen? Broilers can be prone to have develop Ascites which can cause difficulty breathing.

IF the Baytril is not making the respiratory distress better, then I'm not sure what else can be tried.

So sorry. Some broilers can be kept as pets and live a couple of years if their diet is closely monitored and they have exercise, but most have difficulties once they reach and exceed butchering age. These birds were not bred to live a long time.

Just my 2¢

Please go through the food details that I have posted here and please let me know if I should make any changes in Tooki's diet. Her sister Brownie is doing fine with the same diet. But I don't mind following different diet for my girls if it makes them get better.

Thank you for all your help!

I am not a nutritionist and only could recommend a commercial feed for people here in the US. I would stick with the recommendations that @Saaniya has made to you about feeding your girls - she knows what's available to you and can help you find the right balance.

Yes, I ask her before giving them anything. I cannot find any commercial feed available here so I give them whatever Saaniya recommends. They really have grown since then. Tooki had initially lost a lot of her feather but after I started Saaniya's recommended diet of eggs and vitamins daily, she has grown a lot of feathers. Her and her sister also shed feathers daily but I have been told that it is because of winters.

Sounds like she has given you solid advice on food/nutrition! I would stick with it:)
