cross posted: ideas to ponder... No antibiotics, just using the Vet Rx, this Am, read instruction, heated bottle " like baby bottles " then put some on birds nostrils, beak and crown. all in flock. Talk about Mad ! we got back hours later, Hen sounds Better.: ) Discovered, that getting a Used Hot Water Vaporizer from thrift store Not worth time it took to find one. none worked. all were rusty when taken apart.... Bought new. w/coffee change , now to rig up dryer type tube for patchwork set up for@ least 1 & 1/2 Hr night treatment. *tip add pinch salt to water* Instruction do not say how long Total treatment is. IDEAS.?

Are you saying there are no other symptoms besides wheezing and using VetRx since this morning seems to be helping? Sorry, just trying to make sure we understand what's going on.

Correct, last week she Sounded Normal, then the Rains Wind and Winter in WA came. 4 days ago @ Mornings feed when I noticed the wheezing.. next day sounded worse, Yesterday I read up on symptoms got ideas, then today started treatment. Just finished rigging up Vaporizer thing. takes a while to patchwork something that will put Vapor into Coop.

How much ventilation does your coop have?

If you have closed your coop up tightly for wintertime, then this can contribute to respiratory symptoms.

VetRX is like Vicks for chicken. It's herbal, no chemicals, and safe, and I've seen people post here in the forums that they only used this product and their chickens recovered.

As for vaporizers, maybe not a bad idea if you have good ventilation, but I would use a barometer to gauge the humidity levels so you can moderate it throughout the day. Also, those things can harbor bacteria, so keep it clean.

Are you adding anything to your flocks' water? It sounds like they could use some nutritional support.

ETA: Do I mean barometer? What's that thingy that measures humidity? Gah.
