Someone had once suggested Tiagard for respiratory and I actually have that coming from Amazon and being delivered today. Should they go ahead and start putting that in her water? What do you think about the rest of the chickens who appeared to have no symptoms from what I can tell?

Well, when she was in the shed area, I was opening the door to the shed and that was getting outside air. We don’t free range our chickens we have a covered run. But I’m not letting her out there with all the other chickens because when there’s something new, even though she’s not new, they seem...

Do you think is still worry about worming the flock and I still not 100% sure she doesn’t have some kind of respiratory issue.

The only way to increase ventilation in the shed area where I was keeping her would to be to add a window. I actually put her in the chaotic coop tonight. She wasn’t breathing as heavy as last night, but she was opening her mouth a little bit. She might have been stressed with all the noise of...

That bigger structure of a crate was in the shed, which doesn’t have any windows. It has a little bit of ventilation on the top, but not a lot. I had other chickens in here and they didn’t seem to have any issues. they were in the shed in the winter time and I never open the doors because of the...

I think she’s a little bit happier, but I don’t know about the other chickens and the run with her. They were really crabby.

During lunch, I’m planning on putting this chicken outside in the run in her crate. And I will put her in the coop tonight with everyone else, but in her crate, of course because she’s not been in there a while. I just witnessed her trying to jump up onto this little bar I had in the big crate...

I have never wormed the flock. No one else seems to have any issues. She has not been laying recently. And maybe that was due to stress and it being winter because I had one chicken that was isolated in the shed didn’t for like two weeks straight and then when I put her in with the rest of the...

the only ventilation in there during the day when I open doors. I had 4 other chickens in there and they didn’t have any problems. Maybe I’ll put her and the other chicken in there in the coop at night! I use pine bedding. I think the shed area is about 16x 10. I’ve been feeding her the chic...

My vet doesn’t treat chickens. People in the group thought it was heart failure because of her gasping while breathing but she only does this at night when the shed she is in is closed up for the night. I’ve been treating the vent gleet with a bath when I can. Respiratory with vetRX but getting...

It’s a mixture of warm water, garlic, acv (the mother) and honey. I saw it on a YouTube from Justin Rhodes

I know when I’ve given her a bath before she has stress breathing but she does calm down after awhile

So Dawn is best then? I was using Epsom salt.

I have similar problem with my chicken but she also has vent gleet. The Valbazen? Where can you get?
