Somehow 4 of the poults managed to get stuck in about 2 inches of water in a proper Chuck water bowl that should have been safe! They are about 5 days old. I have no idea how long they were like that but when we got to them they were all cold and stiff and gasping.

I have warmed them up and they seem to be ok. Walking around now and eating. One however is panting. Please help. What to do??
 
I think that all you can do is to get it dry and keep it warm. Hopefully it will be alright. Do you have them under a heat lamp? Offering lukewarm sugar water (1 tsp per cupful) may be helpful.

Thanks. Yup they are under a heat lamp and all dry and warm. And they are all able to stand and walk. My main concern is the one that is panting with its mouth open. It’s not all the time but maybe 40% of the time.
