This very typical of nutritional deficiency (if the breeder birds are deficient then that is passed to the chick)
A supplement (general) and tree drops of polyvisol enfamil for a week then taper off the next would probably have solved her problem. Heat is very stressful on birds... they eat less and so a general supplement should be added to their waterer or feed.... avoid feeding any scratch during hot periods....so no I do not believe it was anything contagious.
Sorry you lost your bird .
