Is she acting lethargic? I had a chick like that like that. She was spitting up clear drool and huddling up, self isolating, and not eating.

Oh she is lethargic. I never really figured out what happened, she just got better with a week of supportive care. It actually happened at the same age too. I separated her and syringe fed electrolytes and some supplements. I think it was oregano, garlic, black pepper, and basil. I also gave her eggs. She was in quarantine for 3 days. By the same time the next week she was back to normal. Some wonderful people helped me narrow it down to a sort of crop disorder. I don't know if this is similar to your situation?

Yes... We separated her and in fact kept her isolated in the warmth because it’s getting chilly here at night she ended up dying two days later sadly

I see. I'm really sorry about that.
