    HELP wheezing chicken can’t breathe!!!

    I’ll try to check that. she is struggling to breathe with her mouth open though. their feeders are inside their hardware cloth run, and they get out to forage in tractors where the water is enclosed, but no doubt there are birds nearby where they are foraging.

    HELP wheezing chicken can’t breathe!!!

    I really appreciate all your help. Nobody has been added since new chicks spring of 2024. I’ve been checking on the rest of the flock and nobody is sneezing, at least not yet. Very tough, this one is really struggling. It’s hard not knowing what to do.

    @Eggcessive is there anything else I can do in the meantime to help her breathe? This is so distressing to watch and listen to.

    HELP wheezing chicken can’t breathe!!!

    Thank you. She is about 3 1/2 hatched spring 2022. I can’t see or pinpoint anything else. Her vent is clean, no abdomen enlargement. She lays eggs. I was able to look inside her beak and her throat is clear. She had been acting normal all week, eating drinking scratching pecking all the usual...

    HELP wheezing chicken can’t breathe!!!

    @Eggcessive I have an open but unused bottle of enrofloxacin from 2023 so it’s clearly old, from a vet from another chicken. would that be useful or is it too old and expired?

    HELP wheezing chicken can’t breathe!!!

    Hi, thank you. I can try to upload a video. She is breathing with her beak open and you can hear it. Every few seconds she stretches her neck out and makes a rooster crowing sound while struggling for air I suppose that is wheezing. Her comb is still bright red. None of the other hens are...

    What is the reason for worming without evidence that they’ve got them?

    puffed up lethargic not eating

    Hi @azygous, thanks for responding. I’ve never wormed them. She ate those two scrambled eggs ravenously yesterday but that was it for the day. This morning checking on her I see and feel her crop is enormous, round and tight and feels full of air like a balloon. I expected it to be flat and...

    6 week old EE — hen or roo?

    I see no signs of Ameraucana at all it’s truly bizarre. I have two EE hens, one has the traditional muffs and beard, the other has none, but has that EE “look” in the face with kind of Welsummer feathering. they’re both from Ideal. this will be sooo interesting to see develop! thanks for your...
