it’s still fairly warm here but we’ve had a few chilly days lately. the coop is an old gazebo and when it’s nice out i leave the side flaps open and there’s chicken wire so they won’t get out and predators won’t get in so the ventilation should be okay. recently completely cleaned out all the old hay and stuff so it was very dusty. none of the birds were inside while it was being cleaned but it’s possible it took a while for the dust and stuff to ventilate out.That’s great news! Hopefully with a bit of TLC she can bounce back.
Where are you located in the world? Is it quite cold? And what is the ventilation like in your coop? Poor ventilation can result in/exacerbate respiratory issues.
Keep Butters warm, hydrated, minimise stress and encourage her to eat. I have read that apple cider vinegar can help clear mucous. You could dilute a small amount in water and offer it to her — but it’s not something to give all the time.
