Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.
Pullet or Cockerel?? 10.5 weeks Mystic Maran. The black comb and wattles are throwing me off. This one is larger than the others. My husband said he heard a little one trying to crow and I’m trying to figure out who the culprit is 😂
Someone also told me that Mystic Marans do not have black...
Hi all! I have a 3 year old chicken who just started honking and sneezing. I have her separated from the rest of the flock. I believe this is respiratory. She does not have any eye drainage or bubbling. I have tylosin, enrofloxacin on hand. Should I treat with antibiotics? If so, which one?
She just passed. She was such a sweet chicken I’m so sad to see her go. I’m relieved she isn’t suffering anymore. I checked her air way closer up after she passed and there wasn’t any blockage or mucus at the opening of her air way. It wasn’t swollen or red either. I’m thinking she aspirated...

I have tylosin powder as well. Would that be better? I did start the Baytril though. I read on google to add a couple drops of saline solution to their nostrils 3-4x a day, do you recommend that? I have looked in her throat and don't see anything. I'm in North Central Texas, the DFW area. I also...

Hopefully you can see that. It is a video of her. She is laying down now and is tired, probably because she has been doing this all night but she was just standing up. What can I do to help her?
Thank you for the response! She is active/alert. No bubbles or foam, no sneezing either just the stridor. I just noticed a tiny strand of mucus in her mouth. She is shaking her head every once in a while, guessing she is trying to cough it up? Not interested in food or water currently probably...
