I noticed today, that 1 of my Barred Plymouth Rocks was hanging out in the nest box longer than usual. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I left her alone. She entered the nest box around 10:50am. As I went to close up the coop at 4:30pm, she was still in the box. Every time I got near...

Oh, I understand. I wasn't criticizing, I just came to the conclusion, that no one on here saw this before. Thank you to everyone who responded. I will look into Tylosin. God bless.

I kept my girls in the coop for most of today. The weatherman was calling for freezing rain and snow. And my run is uncovered. Lucy looked pretty bad this morning. It took her a while to snap out her gasping. But when she did, she walked over to the waterer and drank. And she even pecked at one...

The closest thing I have seen to coughing or sneezing, is that little head jerk you can see in the beginning of the video I posted earlier, "Lucy Before Bed". I used the flashlight on my phone, and put in on the outside of her throat. I looked down her throat while she was gasping, I didn't see...

I've been checking inside her mouth, and down her throat. I have not seen any lesions. I have been feeling her body daily, I have not noticed any bubbles or anything that felt unusual. Yes, her crop is empty in the morning. She starts first thing in the morning, usually before food and drink...

Here is her again before bed. Acting relatively normal.

I've noticed her gasping is more frequent when it's colder out, especially in the morning and evening. She also starts when she gets worked up, like when I go to pick her up.

Lucy acting normal. A few minutes earlier.

Sorry about the delay, but here is the video.

She was laying before this all started. She started laying around 19 weeks old. And the eggs were around medium size, but otherwise normal. And yes her crop empties overnight. Like I said, she is pooping. I will take a video in the morning and add the link to this post. *She has, as far as I...

I have a 7 month old Cinnamon Queen hen, named Lucy, that has been gasping for air for going on 2 weeks now. What is strange, is it is not all the time. She will sit under the coop for a while, just gasping and wheezing. Her comb and wattles start to turn purple. But then she will just snap out...

I haven't cracked it open yet. But other than the "frosting", it feels like a normal egg. All my layers, just started laying in September. So it could just be a newer layer defect. I don't know.:idunno

I was kinda leaning towards calcium. I just thought it was odd. It looks like someone dipped the top half of the egg in a chalky paint.

One of my ladies laid this today. Anyone see this before? Is it excess calcium? Poop? Heavy bloom? Any ideas?

Yeah, I'm sure there are BOs that never go broody, and BR that do. I get that. I was just wondering if anyone else had experience with half bred BOs. As far as Silkies are concerned, Number 1, they are bantams. I have a rather large BO rooster, I think he would do some damage to them during...
