It could have pasty butt if its messy down there. If that's the case clean the area when it needs it and dap some olive oil on the down feathers around the vent. I would seperate it from the others for quarantine and observation
It could also be some sort of respiratory infection , if that's the case there are several methods you can use, VetRx can help a lot. Tylan 50 is an antibiotic used for chickens, not sure about dosing for chicks. Do you have something like sav-a-chick to put in the water?

if you dont have access to somewhere that sells electrolyte/ probiotic formula you can make your own, here is the recipe

1 1/4 tsp sodium chloride (common salt, use unrefined sea salt if possible)
1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
1/2 teaspoon potassium chloride (salt substitutes contain mostly potassium chloride)
2 Tbs honey or molasses

Mix solution thoroughly with 1/2 gallon of water. Solution must be discarded after 24 hours.

the salt substitute is usually at the supermarket. I would definitely try electrolyte/ probiotics first. Other things you can try:
feed the chick some plain yoghurt and scrambled eggs, raw apple cider vinegar in water (1TB per gallon)

I have had about two dozen chickens in the past 8 years.

Many have had illnesses that I have resolved, both thru my own research and experimentation, and also by taking them to a vet.

Its really odd that a sub like this, no one has cared or bothered to go to a vet, to at least learn something that will educate you for future flocks, if you indeed intend to be a long term backyard master.

I currently have a 7 year hen who is blind, and also suffers from 'water belly' and we take her to a vet about every 5 weeks.

I guess it helps when you have a vet who is willing to help you with poultry animals, as most in urban locations will not, or has no clue.

Have you at least tried VetRx? That is one of my key go to treatments, whenever I have a bird that is having problems.

Should be required for every hatchery pickup. Many times it has done what antibiotics have not done for resolving illness. Wouldn't testify if I didn't believe the results every time I apply it.

Good luck.
