Sick chick?

[Yabadabadoo]

Definitely looks like a respiratory issue.
Is she eating/drinking/pooping/moving around OK?
None of the others are doing this?

I thought about being too hot also, but it looks like you are using a heat plate instead of a lamp?

Here she is about an hour ago, solo but regular activity. https://youtube.com/shorts/IeI79g3bdUo

Good!

She may have had something stuck in her throat before...or drank too fast.

Are you going to let her be with the others again now? She looks good.

Yes, she is with all the other chickies tucked in under the heating plate ready for bedtime. Fongers crossed.

I have a gold star that I bought from a feed store about five days ago. She was delivered to the feedstore 12/30 and is just barely starting to sprout her tail feathers. Her respiration looks a little strained (short of breath), and she’ll stand, and rhythmically, every few seconds, tilt her head back, eyes closed (light sleep, no sound), open her mouth, as if snoring or gasping, then tilt her head back down, and start the cycle again. When she is awake she seems fine but her respirations (chest and back movement) are a little more dramatic than the other chicks. I am a new chick mom, so looking for help with diagnosis, treatment if any, and steps I need to take to stop this from spreading to my other chicks (with whom she has been cohabitating). Thank you in advance!

is her poop bloody if it is she has cocodios and you have to treat everyone in brooder now if its you can buy corid poweder from tractor supply co. Make sure ur brooder is super clean and beding until 4 weeks atleast ther very weak when young. In other cases get Electrlytes from tractor supply co or save the chick. other than take her to a vet. thats all i can do

No blood in any of the poop I have seen, just light yellow and soft as in the picture above.

We have nine chicks, 2-4 weeks in a 2x5 feeding trough and completely clean with new litter and wiped down every other dat. We just got them from the stock shop last Friday, so a week ago, and after I had got them home I noticed some yellow poop in there. So one or two may have come home with an infection.

should I just proactively treat all with corid? (I have had adult chickens before, but this is my first time with checks. We never had any issues at all with our prior flock (Four hens; three have passed and we have one 8 is easter egger left).
