I have a 12 week old easter egger who's looking puffed up, was previously very skittish and now barely moves around. She's not eating or drinking much. Ive had her separated with a heat lamp and on corid water for the last 48 hours with not much improvement. Her poop looks normal except for it being more watery than normal. I thought I saw some red in a few of her poops yesterday. I'm syringe feeding corid water since she's not drinking much. Any ideas or suggestions? I am tempted to let her out and graze a bit just to see if that perks her up at all.

Photos? That does sound like coccidiosis.

Encourage her to drink the Mixed Corid Water. If she's not drinking well, then you can give her a direct oral drench of undiluted Liquid Corid at a rate of 0.10ml per pound of weight twice a day for 3 days.
This is in Addition to her drinking the Mixed Corid water throughout the day or you syringing it into her.

You can treat all the chicks if you wish, so she can stay with them. I would keep her with her friends unless she's getting picked on.

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water. Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.
