Unusually sleepy pullet during the day! URGENT

[Wyorp Rock]

Just two pullets are housed together right now, indoors while they’re growing and dealing with whatever is going on with their immune systems. I have 5 other hens in an outdoor coop and run.

What do you think of the possibility of gapeworm causing (at least some of)her symptoms? Her breathing while asleep fits nearly all of the symptoms, I have not noticed anything in their poop, but maybe I’m just missing it or unable to see it. It definitely looks like she has trouble breathing when she is relaxing her neck/isn’t holding her head up.

EDIT:: just checked in on her. She was sleeping, but much more alert than when she was sleeping before. Nasal discharge is minimal, clear, and only from one nostril. Only the leaking nostril smells slightly. The other side does not seem to have any odor, strangely. Nothing (foreign objects, shapes, or colors) in eyes, ears, beak, or what I could see of throat, which was minimal.
She’s up drinking and eating now.
Attached photos of her falling asleep in my lap.
Other chick housemate has slight clear runny nose and little sneezes.

Have you ever had respiratory illness in your other flock?

Both of the chicks came from the same place/breeder?

Gapeworm is not that common, more likely respiratory illness.

Her crop is emptying overnight, right?

We have never experienced respiratory ory illness in our flocks.

Correct. I checked in with the breeder and she asked if I had looked for mites or worms (no visible signs of either). I have another older pullet who stayed outside with the hens, and she’s doing great.

Understood, thank you! After my limited research looking through the different worms, it just seemed to match most symptoms.

Her crop is emptying overnight and throughout the day. I can feel when she has or hasn’t eaten recently

I apologize, I did not see your edit until now. After reading some of the following posts I'm so sorry to hear that she's begun showing signs of sickness. While she still looked healthy and the sleep cycle was just a thought from a few of my past experiences, I figured it was easiest to start there... or at least something else to add to the list of things to consider.

How is she doing?

She’s much more alert while napping now! Still my cuddly, happy, girl. Treating for a cold, fingers crossed
