Her crop has been emptying fine, but ill check again in the morning just to be sure.

Sure. Sorry for taking so long to reply, I lost a hen and a storm came through my area so I've been trying to get things back in order. There haven't been many changes, in the video, I got the gasping/swallowing like the action isn't as bad as I've seen it, I was feeding her small treats, but if...

I still don't know what to do. Another one of my birds is starting to get the same symptoms, while others are completely fine. ive seen droppings like clear/mucus droppings-cecal like, I finished the deworming treatment, I've done research, I've given them lung/respiratory help, rooster booster...

I finished the treatment, cleaned the coops, and I'm planning to spray for mites/lice just in case, but she hasn't improved at all. She hasn't really gotten worse, either. She still gasping when she eats, lethargic, etc. I don't really know what to do, I've been putting vitamin/mineral...

They have quite a lot of ventilation, its pretty open. I was planning on cleaning today, and ill make sure to give the safeguard again. She hasn't really had any changes, I did notice a dead worm in her droppings this morning, though.

I mixed some electrolyte water into feed and got her and the others to eat, still gasping. I got ahold of her, which she didn't appreciate, she hasn't gained any weight, the poor girl is so so thin. I gave her more safeguard and electorates and returned her to her feed. I also noticed another...

I checked her over, no lice or mites. She didn't seem bloated, and her crop emptied fine but I haven't seen her droppings. She isn't much interested in food anymore but she won't allow me to pick her up, I got pictures of her and her buddies, huddled up in the corner of the barn. I gave her...

This is her today, poor girl. Is there anything I should do..? Try to give her fluids, anything I can get for her that might help?

I got some pictures of the droppings I found this morning, I was hoping to see some improvement from her this morning, but she looks worse. Only about 5 of my 14 hens left to free-range this morning, the others stayed in the coop. I'm hoping it might be because it was colder this morning the...

I continued treatment for tonight, shes still gasping but she's eating well, seemed a little better this evening. They have about 3 acres to free-range from 7 am to around 6-7 pm, and have access to food, water, etc.. Her breathing sounds OK though. From what I've heard, safeguard treats...

Haha, I sit outside and picked grass for my girls, they really love it. I wormed them since I noticed a stray worm in one of their droppings. I was just sitting outside with them and I didn't see her gasp. From what I've seen she only really gasps when eating. She did seem a little brighter, she...

No, their crops are all normal. I'll get pictures a little more into the evening, I can't find who I'm looking for at the moment, but ill keep looking, for the moment though I do have a picture of the bird in question, this was from yesterday. She looks about the same today, just more droopy.

A few of them are laying, nothing has changed, though. The only thing I can think of is about a month ago, we changed their feed to mini pellets instead of crumble, but that's it. Could it have anything to do with long grass? My lawnmower broke a little while back, so I haven't been able to trim...

I went out and checked on everybody, tried to get pictures. I only have 2 hens that are super lethargic,(one is worse than the other) the others are just a little dull. The vast majority of my flock, however, has been hanging out in their dust-bath coop all day. The bird in question seems to be...

I don't think any of the feed has been affected, I stocked up on feed before anything major happened, and it's all in a sealed container, so the feed is OK. Yes, she was lethargic before dewormer, and after it got worse. I caught her drinking a good amount just earlier, and I've already given...
