get her to a vet and get some antibiotics - it sounds like she has a respiritory infection (possibly mycoplasma) which can be bought on by stress (and going to a new home is stressful for a bird). If it is myco she will always have it and it can flare up at stressful times again such as a moult.
Get enough antibiotics to treat the whole lot of your birds, don't forget to ask your vet for the withdrawal time for the eggs.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I have had this problem with my sussex bantam. She started sneezing, then coughing like a little duck and when she was in her nest box i could hear her chest ratteling, i took her to the vet and it was respitery they perscribed Baytril and gave her an injection to help her breathe a little better. She seemed fine after a few days in her house getting well. Now 4 weeks later it is back, so more Baytril for my girl, she has had this since we bought her i have only had her 5 weeks must be the stress of the move but my other 4 are fine (all bought at the same time).
Good luck.... :)

Might be worth asking vet if they think a different anti-bio is worth trying?
