It is a good idea to separate her, if you can. Pick up some corid (Tractor Supply should carry it) and treat the whole batch of chicks with 2 teaspoons of corid per gallon of water.

If the chick is not acting lethargic, then there is no need to separate it. Just treat everyone with Corid; if powdered use 3/4 tsp for every gallon of water and make sure it is their only source of water so you’re sure they drink it. Treat for 5 days.
keeping the environment clean and sanitized is sometimes not enough with coccidiosis unfortunately; those little parasites are everywhere. Fortunately if caught early it’s easy to treat.

Also, don't give any vitamin supplements while treating with corid. CORID mimics thiamin (Vitamin B1) which is required by coccidia for normal growth and reproduction. When coccidia ingest CORID, they experience thiamin deficiency and starve from malnutrition. You can give the supplements after treatment. Change their water once, or twice, a day while treating for 5-7 days. When converting for chickens, the math works out to 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of water. This is for the corid powder.
