Listless and Sick Chick

[danielle2003]

One of our Welsummer chicks is very listless, just standing fluffed up in a corner with eyes closed. She acted like she couldn't eat the crumble so I wet some down and she ate quite a bit. I also gave her a little bit of colloidal silver, as I've used it before to help a chick in the past.
Now what she's been doing is dozing off, then suddenly opens her mouth, moves backwards or in a circle and cheeps loud. It almost looks like she's going crazy! She also has a clear liquid coming from her mouth. I am so worried for her!! What should I do?!

Don't put anything else in to it's mouth. Sounds like something went down the wrong pipe which is bad.

How old is the chick?
How long have you had it?

She is a little over a week old. We got her a couple days ago. She was already about a week when we got her.

Did you get other chicks with her?
Were they shipped or local?

Yes, we got 11 other chicks as well. They were all from a local feed store, about 15 minutes from where we live.
