Exclamation Water in lungs?

One of my chicks just decided to nose-dive from the food tray into the water tray and got a gob full of water... When it got up, it gulped numerous times, then had its beak in the air, breathing hard. What do you do if a bird gets water in its lungs? Is there anything I can do for it? Please help! This is scary watching a day old baby that may be suffering

lol It's the third one -the one that hatched today. He's so silly and sooo much smaller than the rest! He seems fine now though. I think I'm just on edge cause they're all so extra special now that their daddy/ grandaddy Medlock has gone. But still, water in the lungs can drown birdies, which is also why I was worried.

But yes I have babies to look after tonight so I can't come They need hot water bottle changes every 3 hours or so, and make sure they aren't finding other ways to commit suicide!

They are snuggling up to my fluffy toy spider- the legs are like mama chicken's legs (except there are 6 more) and the colour is similar, and the texture of the "fur" the same as the mama chicken's feather-fluff. The yellow one is on top, near the light! The other two are snuggling into the fluff. They are on my computer desk, so I can keep an eye on them.

lol they're chickens, not lories! He's actually the silly one- I always find him on his back, legs kicking, like a turtle. He's so pathetically cute. Number four hatched just before, he's keeping warm (and quiet) in my top.
