Back to being sick again. We don't think he'll last much longer. He's very weak.  Breathing heavy. Just lays there with his head down on the ground.

 

Maybe he started with a weak heart or some kind of respiratory problem.????

did you try giving him antibiotics or that "Chick saving electrolyte" thing? It may help.

Going back home. No internet at the house, so I won't be online as much. Sorry for any RP inconveniences.

He died, we think he had a heart condition. Thank you for your help.

Frosty Could it be gape worms in the the throat causing the breathing problems had some chickens with the same problem 2 1/2 years ago I used a home remedy of boiled tobacco juice gave it to them by a teaspoon and in 2 days it was all gone.

Or is it another problem.
