My hen has gained weight recently, though it seems like it's only her backside. She is super skinny up front and has nothing in her crop but it seems really fat on the opposite side. She doesn't seem to be egg bound. Her comb is bright red and she doesnt show signs of straining. However she has...

My 7 week old chick seems to have a stuffy nose. Her mouth is open when she exhales and i can hear her breathing. We have recently had a coccidiosis problem if that contributes to anything.
My 6 week old chick is tired and isnt prticipating in all the fun things with her sisters. When she walks, she is very slow and sometimes even stands up to sleep. Everytime i go to check on the chicks the one is either watching her sisters or sleeping. It has been very hot the past couple days...
