HELP - POORLY HEN!

[Toni91]

One of our hens recently got brudy and we have let her sit three eggs one hatched in the early hours of tuesday mornign and all was going well until this morning when i went to check on her and the baby had been squished and the mother looked very unwell.

she had foamy, bubbly eyes and a very pale comb, ive brought her inside away from the other hens and added a hot water bottle to try and keep her warm, as she feel very cold. ive been trying to give her water, one thread suggested adding sugar?
she also seems to be making a croaking noise and heavy breathing

Please could someone offer some help as to what i should do. Weve lost one baby today i really dont want to loose her!

Thanks Toni
