Wheezing/sneezing/gasping chick

[Englewood]

I have one chick that is wheezing, sneezing, breathing hard & occasionally gasping for air. It seems more lethargic than the rest & sometimes has its eyes closed. I can hear it breathing from loudly over the other chicks. It has been this way for 2 days & the others have been sneezing since the day after I got them. Several of the other chicks are sneezing. They are 1-2 weeks old & I just got them on 3/5. I had them on pine shavings, but moved them to paper towels today thinking that the dust from the shavings may be bothering them. What do I do?

Where did you get them?
How many do you have?
How many are sick?

It sounds like a respiratory virus.
