Im worried about getting a disease

[New chick moma]

One of my couple day old baby chicks that I just got Thursday got very sick and lifeless struggling to breath wouldn't eat or drink. I did something that was probably not the smartest thing to do but wasn't thinking about anything bit helping her. I put my mouth on her beak to breath in her mouth and now I'm afraid I'm going to end up with some disease. Is there anything I can do to help prevent or have I just doomed myself. Also I did everything I could for her and she made it through the night but then did end up dying the next evening. Thanks in advanced

Mammals and birds are very different from one another. No disease or parasite is transferrable between the two that I'm aware of

You're not going to get a disease if the chicks are from a reputable source.
but giving a chick mouth to mouth is pretty silly.
How hot is your brooder? Their diet?

I ordered them from tractor supply. They came to the post office and I picked them up there. They were shipped from hoovers hatchery

Are they getting too hot?

It sound like failure to thrive

Yeah. new chick mama, you should put a thermometer in their brooder and keep at 95 F. You’ll also want to give them a warm end with food and a cool(er) end with water.
