    ok, so we do hear that sneeze as in the second video you posted. that was the first video we came across in our internet search but there are so many random opinions with no suggested solution in the comments on it that it’s hard to tell which to follow. so, with that sneeze, she has a...

    Gasping sound in pullet! Gapeworm or respiratory issue!?

    Thank you so much, It sounds just like the silke with strider. Do you know of any remedies for stridor? do we just keep her relaxed, in her own area with food and water and monitor? thanks again 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Gasping sound in pullet! Gapeworm or respiratory issue!?

    Hey ya’ll this morning we woke up to one of our pullets making a gasping wheezing sound with her mouth sort of open (though she has always had a sort of open beak). she ocassionally shakes her head, not sure if it’s a sneeze or just a head shake with sound. She does not appear to have any...

    Coyote attack—left one hen with big gash!

    Hey, thank you so much for the response! do you know about the“drying out”?

Just wanting to get all the info I can do...

    Coyote attack—left one hen with big gash!

    Thanks for the information!! I will try to get a good pic of it tonight, if I can get her wings lifted a bit to snap a photo of it.
