The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

Pics
I have a hen who has started wheezing when breathing with an open mouth and then it sounds like she's almost sneezing (high pitched squeal every now and then and when she does that she extends her neck and shakes her head). Any Ideas? No worms under her tongue and I don't feel anything in her throat of crop.
 
Solved.

I just kept giving it the honey water, picked it up, and started breathing on it while rubbing it's back as it started getting cold despite the brooder being at 30 c and it seemed it's condition started getting worse, but after I started breathing on it, it started chirping and now it is walking around crowing to it's siblings and parents who are in the room but a separate enclosure. Keeping this here just incase someone has a similar situation.

I am keeping it in the brooder until I am sure it is fully recovered.

NEW EMERGENCY:
I have a Chinese painted quail who is about 4 weeks old who suddenly fell ill without any sign of being sick beforehand, I heard it doing the "Whee" chirps quite loud and when I checked I saw it flopping along the cage floor trying to keep up with it's siblings and parents. I took it out and it is in a brooder for now to keep it warm and it hasn't touched the food or water, but I did dab some water on it's beak and it has shown some signs of recovery as it isn't falling on it's side now, but is still extremely weak and breathing fast, not panting, but I can see it's body moving quickly.
It is quite alert and can lift up it's head to look around and kicked when I picked it up, but other than that it isn't looking good.

My dad is making some honey water now for it to give it a small boost of energy to hopefully help it, but I would like some advice on what to do if there is anything I can do? I already put a little ACV in the water incase it is a contagious illness. All the other quail in the cage are completely fine but I am monitoring them also.

Posting it here too, hope someone can help. :(

The poops look normal, and the bedding is hay. I am hoping to try and help it myself if possible as there's no vets open around here except overtime and we don't have the money for even walking in the vets at the overtime hours.

To me it sounded like she just sneezed. My hens do it all the time, but how she was panting. I don't know if that was normal. She could have been hot. How long has she been panting?
 
My Delaware pullets make a weird squaking noise and I don't know if it is normal or not. They do it to communicate to the other chicks and I am trying to send a video but as I need them to make the sound they refuse.
