    Chicken sneezing and breathing loudly

    I don't think it is intestinal lining, as that would usually be pretty stringy, almost? These are definitely spherical in shape. It hasn't been regular, though, so hopefully it isn't an issue.

    Chicken sneezing and breathing loudly

    UPDATE: she recently did a very wet poo, that has these red dots in it? I've attached a photo, and I'm not really sure what they are, or if they could be related to this issue. Her sneezing/cougjing seems to have improved, however her breathing has gotten worse, and she is a lot more lethargic...

    Chicken sneezing and breathing loudly

    Her abdomen feels pretty normal, with none of those signs. I believe that these symptoms did begin showing up after she stopped laying, however I couldn't say for certain.

    Chicken sneezing and breathing loudly

    Thanks so much for the reply! I am also beginning to think that it isn't pneumonia, however the antibiotics still seemed to have an effect while she was on them, it just didn't seem to last at all, which is what's really confusing me. I'll also definitely look at getting some powdered...

    Chicken sneezing and breathing loudly

    This is an issue for my 4 year old Australorp. She has been struggling with on and off crop issues (particularly sour crop) due to pendulous crop, which I am now managing with a crop bra. Over the past year, she has begun to sneeze, with quite noticeable breathing, which I originally thought was...

    Hen sitting like penguin but not eggbound

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. Should she be left to live out the rest of her life, or should she be culled at some point?

    Hen sitting like penguin but not eggbound

    Thanks for replying, could internal laying still be an issue if she's still producing eggs?

    Hen sitting like penguin but not eggbound

    All our hens were meant to be vaccinated as chicks (we purchased them as pullets), so hopefully this isn't the issue

    Hen sitting like penguin but not eggbound

    No, I tend to just give her a multivitamin in her water - should I be giving her those tablets?

    Hen sitting like penguin but not eggbound

    This is a recurring issue in one of my chickens. She is a silver laced wynadotte who is around 5 years old, and is still laying, eating, and drinking. Over the past 6 months or so, she has been sitting like a penguin, and struggling to walk and fully stand normally. When she does walk, she does...

    Hey everyone! I'm also new here, I am in Queensland in the Moreton bay area, and I've been keeping chickens for around 4 years now.

    crop troubles

    This sounds like sour crop. Is there a sour smell coming from her mouth, or are there any white-ish patches in her mouth?

    crop troubles

    Could the crop be pendulous? (https://thefrugalchicken.com/pendulous-crop-backyard-chickens/- this article explains if you're unsure)

    Help needed with hen.

    Hope she's doing ok. This could be sour crop, or another crop issue, although it'd be good to know what her crop feels/looks like.

    Chicken excessively yawning, shaking head and now can’t swallow as well

    It's good to hear that you know what the issue is, although I'm sorry to hear that she's not doing well. Personally, I would attempt to treat her, however that's just me, and I'm definitely not an expert. @coach723 might be of better help?
