2 week old chick breathing heavy

[Savori]

Hello,
This is my first question. Happy to be here.
I have baby ducks and chicks together. Everything is going great. The ducks do hog the water .But the chicks do get in there and drink. They are all fighters. I have 13 chicks and 6 ducks. The one chick who is breathing heavy is one to two weeks younger then the rest. I checked everything on her .The only thing is her heavy breathing.
Is she not getting enough water. Or is there something more?
Thank you

I do have them on medicated feed until I put them outside.

Medicated feed is NOT good for ducks, if they are eating that feed too your should switch immediately to NON-Medicated food!

Could be repository issue, use straw instead of shavings as bedding and that may help!

I never Brood Ducks and Chicks together.
Possibly it's being harassed by the Ducklings?

I have them on a all organic duck chicken medicated feed.
And they are not being harassed by the ducks. They all snuggle together. Its very cute. I make sure the chicks are drinking. They have been together since babies. I just introduced two new chicks two weeks ago. And one is breathing heavy. She is not being picked on. They have there pecking order all figured out. I sit there and watch. I check up on them all day. There my little babies. They are wonderful. They have lots of space so they can get away from the heat lamp. I change water at least 2-3 times a day. Clean there space once a day. Give them mealworms and grit. I feed them with my hands and pet them. I love them!!!!!

I just would like to know what might be wrong with my chick. She is breathing heavy. Is it lack of water? Or is it something else.
I put her and the other chick I got her with in a separate space with electrolyte water. I am putting her beak in the water once an awhile.
I just saw her breathe like this first thing this morning. And I separated her right away with her friend so sheis not alone.
I just would like to know if it my be some kind of illness. Thank you again
