Listen to your daughter, isolate her, get a bottle of Sulmet at the feed store for her drinking water and put a heat lamp on her. She probably has a touch of cocci from the stress of the trip. Cocci is present in all birds, but normally isn't a problem - unless they're stressed. One of the two Cockerels I picked up at the show also displayed signs of stress related cocci; very loose, watery feces at first, wet fluff under the tail, reluctance to move. He's been in an isolation crate actually on the back porch since I brought him home. He's going to be fine, he's just young and needed a little "boost" to fight the bugs.
