I would also suggest to use a heat lamp, its amazing how heat can turn the odds with a fluffed up bird. This may also give you some extra time to diagnose the sickness. The more information you can give the better the chances of getting the correct information. It might be as a simple case of asthma or to an extreme case of broken breast bones. If the bird isn't isolated from the rest best to so if it is infectious the rest don't get it.
