hello! we recently rescued some factory farm chickens. they are not in good shape, but we are worried for one in particular.
she is 11 months old, maybe weighs a kilogram. when she arrived she was being transported with a huge amount of other chickens, she was squished under them.
she is weak...
okay so, my 2-3 year old chicken Misha has been experiencing sudden bursts of not being able to breathe. she will turn completely blue and i need to keep her next to an open window to get enough oxygen to survive this attack. it will last for 10-20 minutes before she can relax and breathe...
This morning when i walked into the coop, one of my rescue chickens is puffed up and not moving much. I checked it out and thought maybe she is just tired, it is early. But now it's been a few hours and it doesn't seem to be feeling better. We don't know their exact age, it is around 1.5-2 years...
