Ok, I am renovating a hay wagon for a mobile pasture raised chicken set up. I'm looking at breeds and I need some input. Cornish cross are out. Suggestions?
I have a Buff rooster that breathes with crackles upon exertion mostly and some minor feather loss. He exhibits no other symptoms. Acts normal, eats normal, no sneezes, crows, clear eyes, nice comb. Just losing feathers hear and there but most noticeably is his crackly, raspy breathing...
