Hey guys! We have an eight month old hen who we are very worried about. We hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary until she jumped into the front yard (which is out of character) and then made no effort to run away when we went to grab her. She was clearly struggling to breathe, which hadn't been the case about a half hour before. She has no other symptoms outside of the wheezing, neck extension and struggle with every inhale. We have her quarantined in the house with food and water. We syringed Safeguard into her beak last night in case of Gapeworm (our neighbors have turkeys and i have heard they can have a higher likelihood of carrying certain parasites) and have seen no improvement. If anyone has experienced something like this and has any advice we'd be so appreciative!
