Well everything was good until yesterday and now another girl is making noises like a wheezing while breathing and she’s been doing it through out the day. Most of the time with her mouth closed. She hasn’t been eating much and her crop has felt empty. I’m thinking I should start a new thread...

Thanks again for all the help. I think I just have rambunctious chickens lol. But they now have oyster and grit. No problems tonight either with noises. Hope this’ll fix the issues with the noises they’ve been making. I’m gonna work on some Renovations with the coop so get more ventilation...

Okay thank you I appreciate the heads up. What sort of container do y’all use for the grit and calcium? I don’t wanna use like a chick feeder because they are good at knocking em over

Okay!! Thanks for the info!! I will def go and get some grit for them later on today because there are 0 rocks in my yard only chance they would’ve had to get them is from the dirt road. And then I guess the oyster shell is pretty pointless because there’s already calcium in the laying mix.

So I felt her crop In The morning and it was completely empty could not feel anything in there at all. And I actually had another girl do something similar. However my coop is pretty hot and I think the heat is making them pant. Any suggestions for cooling it other then vents/screened windows...

Sorry its been so long since I looked at the thread. But I will say she has not made the noise again since the night I made the post. I don’t provide grit although I have some in the form of crushed oyster shells that I’ll give to the flock today. How do y’all provide it to them? I haven’t...

Okay cool. Money well spent lol. But thanks again. Will post again with updates if things worsen or get better.

It does sound like the Kuerig lol!

Thank for the responses!! So this is not something I should be worried about? I think I might continue to quarantine and monitor her for a few days. Also would Vetrx help if you have any experience with the product?

This is only at night. Second night. No vets nearby that do chickens.
