Treatment for hen breathing with mouth open ?

[SusanMc]

Hello BYC

I have exhausted everything I know to try, on my poor hen Polly and Pearl. She has been breathing like this for about 10 days. I isolated her, have given her vitamins and electrolytes, have also tried a bit of oil of oregano in water through a syringe.
Please if anybody knows what it could be, I’m open to try any and all ideas.

Is she making any sound as she breathes? It could be Respiratory.

Where are you? Chickens can't sweat. If it's warm enough, mouth breathing is normal.

Could just be a panting like thing. It could be a issue, or could be hot, which is normal. Pictures would help, is she showing any other symptoms? Is it hot? Are any others doing it?

Vitamins nor electrolytes will cure a respiratory illness.

Can you take a short clear video of how she's breathing and upload it to YouTube?

Sure I’ll go out and do it. How do I get the video to this forum ?

It’s not heat, and no other hens are showing the same signs
