Help with my 2 week old cornish X PLEASE!!

O my, my DH and I picked one up as well and I was scared to death today because the chick is panting like crazy while all the other lil' ones are perfectly happy, I did have to bath his underside today because we originally started out with the water on the bottom of brooder but moved it up onto a block today because all they do is poo in it and get it all over themselves, silly chicks, so I was afraid it was something I had done:/ but from this post and the others I read on the subject I guess that's just the way they are (?) I do find the possibility of him having a heart attack very scary( as stated on that welp hatchery website), do I really have to restrict his feed ? This is my first time with chicks so obv. a new experience for me, up until now we were wondering exaclty what the heck a panting chicken looked like,lol, now that I see it I don't like it

Yep, I got one too by mistake in my order from Hoover Hatchery !! 2 Weeks old, it lays by the hanging feeder and breathes hard and just eats and eats. Gets tired really easily. He is going to my neighbors soon (like tomorrow !!) as they raise Broilers and this guy needs to be on restricted feed or he is going to cack early !!! My other chicks run, jump and play and love life. This poor guy just eats and pants, LOL Anyone near me that raises Broilers that wants him? Seriously !! Email me !!
