chick is breathing heavy

[mothersilke]

we just got some freedom ranger chicks from costal and one of our gals is breathing real heavy, still able to lift her head and move around a little bit, she wont drink water, everyone else is acting fine, her stomach and underside (idk the term) is hard and stiff, is this from the corrid water we gave them (we saw some bloody poop and didnt want to lose more chicks to cocxi) or is this somthing else? how might i help her?

this is her, she wont leave that position

Sometimes chicks breathe this way because they could be close to death, have a bad heart, inhaled dust, causing respiratory distress and failure or a crop issue/impaction.
