Well he’s much older now since that video, however he was recently diagnosed with pneumonia a week ago an he is now recovering with bio meds. I’m not sure if it was the pneumonia causing that breathing at that point in time, but it might be good to get a vet check just to be safe.
So this issue is already being treated, however I just wanted some other opinions. I have a male pekin (8 weeks old) he’s grown at alarming rate compared to his brother and did struggle with niacin deficiencies a couple weeks ago. Since then I have increased his niacin intake immensely. And now...
