    EXTREME Labored Breathing! LOUD!

    Please help me!! 2 yo hen, mixed breed. Notice this morning she sounded like she was chatting a lot. It was very low, typical happy chicken mumbling. Then I noticed it was steady, there were no breaks, and I realized it was the sound of her breathing. She appears to be eating fine, acting...

    Sick serama?!?! Advice please!!

    Hello all, went to check the birds this morning and my poor little serama slowly walked up to me this morning. She looked cold and pathetic. Shivering. Over all lethargic. She feels a bit lighter than normal. Her comb and wattles are red still. I brought her inside to warm up on the heating...

    Chicken is wheezing - and lost a hen last week

    Hi everyone, One of my hens is suddenly wheezing. She makes an inhale wheeze and then shakes her head a bit. The head shaking doesn’t happen with every breath, but often enough that it is worrisome. Her sister died suddenly about 1.5 weeks ago. Just curled up in a corner to “rest” and was dead...

    Size of air holes in still air incubators. What size are yours for how many eggs?

    Hi, I am transforming a forced air incubator with a broken fan into a still air incubator. I think that the size of the air holes should be bigger, but don't know how much. Could you share how big the air vents are in your incubators, especially for still air incubators? My forced air...

    Chicken panting

    Hi everyone. I posted on here a few months ago explaining how my bantam was making odd sounds when breathing. Although this isn’t as bad as it was, she now seems to be panting very rapidly. It is hot here at the moment, about 25-30c but the other chickens don’t seem to be affected as much. She...

    Tip for overheating birds

    I just learned this today going off of a hunch and I wanted to share this for the chance that it could help someone else. If your goose or duck is overheating get their webs wet. Definitly move them to shade or a cooler location and get them some water to drink, preferably with a tub of water...

In January she was open mouth breathing. We took her to ER, she was treated with antibiotics, antifungals, and dewormer. She got so bad she...
