I got the video but could not post it to you tube. She is still sneezing but does not sound in as much distress. I won’t put her down yet. She acts fine otherwise. I just want her happy and comfortable.
I have a sweet Marin cross. She has had a sneeze for over a year. This weekend her sneeze started being followed by a very loud cry/crow sound and her chest gurgles. She still eats drinks roosts. I’m not sure how to help her. Antibiotic? Put her down? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi. I bought 2 Cornish chicks about 4 months ago. They were adorable and I thought I would add them to my flock. They have outgrown the other chicks and their breasts are so large they barely walk. They lie down, eat and drink and poop on themselves. FYI they have lots of room to move around but...
I’m watching the sister. If she dies I will send her for an autopsy. It’s odd that the sisters got sick and no one else, yet. I’ve had all of them for at least 5 years. Thank you for the feedback. I will post her status and findings.
Now her sister has the same thing. Noticed gurgling tonight. If I hold her I can feel it in her chest. How would I find a state vet in Texas? Near San Antonio.
My Rhode Island Red gurgles when she is breathing. It’s coming from her chest I think. Is there anything to do for this? She is losing weight and comb is lying to side. Any antibiotics?
I didn't want to touch my camera so ill just describe. My blue orpington hen was on the floor of the coop this morning and could not get up. I put her down (chopped head off) and did autopsy. She barely bled out. Her waddles were very pale. gut and intestines were almost empty except some...
We have a really sweet hen. I'd consider her to be a pet. She's a year old now and doesn't lay an egg very often. She is also the same size as our other hens. My husband laughs at the name Jersey "Giant". I like her though. She will even get into the van if the door is open so we have to keep an...
I wanted to check on my diagnosis of our hen. She was 5 yrs old and my favorite hen. I had to put her sister down 1 yr ago with egg yolk peritonitis and she had a softball sized (no kidding) hardened mass of egg yolk in her abdomen. Chubby, this hen, started with a swollen water balloon feeling...
I just lost a girl this morning. She was sick last year so I wormed and treated everyone and she got better. She's been laying thin shelled eggs but looked and acted ok. Very tame, likes to be petted. But this morning, she could not get up. I felt her abdomen and it was hard. Did a warm bath and...
Am not sure what an egg feels like when it's stuck in the chicken. I thought maybe I felt something so gave her a warm bath with baby shampoo (she had dried stool on tail feathers- maybe from not being able to get up vs maybe loose stool), a blow dry, and snuggle time in towels. No egg came out...
