Thank you all so much for all your help, you've all been amazing. I dont think autopsies are something generally done on chickens here in Australia; Storm has been buried anyway now. We check the chickens behaviour thoroughly every day, however this definitely just came on very suddenly. She...

Hello everyone, Thank you so so much for responding and helping. With gave her a bit of olive oil last night, and for a little while, she sounded better! She wasn’t as rattly and didn’t sound as raspy. However, we’ve gone to bed last night, and woken up early to check on her. Unfortunately...
