Two day old chick, we just started transporting it to take it back home after a classroom hatch. After moving it to a box with the others and taking it outside I noticed it flopped over and making gasping respirations. It's just laying opening and closing its mouth with deep breaths. Every few minutes its shaking its head and flipping over, but otherwise not moving, and its breathing keeps getting faster!
What's going on? This literally just started up so suddenly.
Update, did a quick check of its airways and cant see anything obstructive in its throat. The only thing I can think of is maybe it breathed in water, while I was picking them up this one ran and stood in the water. Could this be a possibility?
