    Sneezing/Coughing a lot but mostly breathing normal...

    So, it's been over a month, and she hasn't gotten any worse or any better.. She still is making the gurgling noises, coughing, and sneezing. I've had her on antibiotics for weeks. She hasn't spread it to her partner roo. I'm so confused!!! Could the heat stress have just damaged her trachea or...

    Rescued Malnourished Pullet

    No, it's a regular family, and the 18 year old son tends to the chickens. He sells the eggs at a little stand. They moved down the street. They're all healthy, functional adults. Horrible people, but so functional adults.

    Rescued Malnourished Pullet

    She passed. :( I think she was too far gone from the heat stress. She never pepped up. Her sister has been having trouble, too, but she's recovering. Send your good, healing vibes.

    Sneezing/Coughing a lot but mostly breathing normal...

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one who worries. I've had a nightmare every night this week about something spreading to my existing flock... Even before this particular illness happened. This just made them worse. I'm constantly changing and washing my clothes and shoes and making sure my...

    Sneezing/Coughing a lot but mostly breathing normal...

    Thank you, @Eggcessive. I haven't noticed eye bubbles or anything MP related, and, I didn't know her exact age, but since I have another mille fleur, I do know that she's too young for egg laying. So I'll need to keep her isolated by herself for another month? We've been keeping the rescued...

    Topic of the Week - What is the purpose of your flock?

    Beautiful post! So, your third picture of the two white chickens are leghorns? I rescued a group of mixed breed cockerels and pullets a few weeks ago, and I know the mille fleurs and the barred rocks, but I have two that look EXACTLY LIKE THOSE. And another two that look like half leghorn and...

    Thank you so much! Yes, we'd been doing that during the early days to get some extra water into them, also, but I didn't think about it being easier to digest. I'll keep doing that now! It's worth a shot. Thank you!

    Sneezing/Coughing a lot but mostly breathing normal...

    Any ideas? A little background....I rescued a group of young chickens who were abandoned in 100 degree heat with no food or water about three weeks ago. One was dead upon my arrival, one died a few days later, and they were ALL in really really bad shape... Totally emaciated and heat stressed...

    Rescued Malnourished Pullet

    Boosting for help! I checked on the others after posting this this morning, and two others are looking similar to her ☹️. Is it just a waiting game?

    Lice and mites?

    I use permethrin 10 liquid, and it's always been great. Diatomaceous Earth had never been very effective in my experience. Also it's bad for their respiratory systems (it's like tiny razorblades). You take 1 oz of permethrin 10 with a Jason of water, and you already your chickens around their...

    Egg bound?

    I had a hen who we thought was egg bound, but nothing we did was working to get the egg out. Even my local vet thought it was an egg and gave me calcium gluconate injections to give her. However, after about (I think) 4 days with no change, I took her to my out-of-town vet who found that it was...

    Rescued Malnourished Pullet

    Hello! I rescued a pullet who I'm guessing to be about 2 months old from a bad situation. I found her and her siblings (one of them was dead) in a tiny pen out in the sun (we've been having a heat wave in Maryland... It was 99 degrees that day with a heat index of 111 degrees.) with no shade...
