The chicks is 2.5 weeks old, has been on medicated starter and vitamin water. Nothing is running from the nostrils or eyes and stool is normal. Bird continually gasps or gags, occasionally coughing. Bird is not as active, but still moving head. She has been outside twice.

I know I've posted pictures on other threads trying to figure out their colors, but this thread will be for watching their feather development in the hopes that it might help someone else figure out what their EEs could look like. I know EEs come in all sorts of colors in spite of chick down...
