Thanks for the responses.
She has been doing this for months. Had her to the vet and she thought respiratory infection. None of the other chickens are sick and I have 23. I went to tractor suppply and looked for a low dust bedding, I hope that helps.
Help, I have a 5 year old hen that sneezes or coughs every few minutes. I have tried antibiotics to no avail.
What else will can I try?
Do hens get Congestive heart failure? Emphysema?
I also have a wheezing/sneezing hen. I have tried several antibiotics. Some days she is gasping for air and some not. I have been dealing with this since last fall. I have a total of 23 chickens and none others are doing this.
Do chickens get Congestive Heart Failure? Emphysema??
Is there any...
She is a lot smaller. Maybe that's it!
However it is raining now and she decided no matter how cranky the other girls are she is not standing out in the rain and went into the coop. They all stayed in there with only minor complaining and no fights or pecking. They finally must have gone to bed...
Just bought two new hens last night. My original two hens are accepting of one but picking on the other?
I used the "sneak them into the coop in the middle of the night method".
Any idea why just the one?
I got three chicks 7 weeks ago. All were about a day old. One is an Americana, one a Golden comet and the last a Buff Orpington.
They all get along fine and are doing great. The only problem is that the Orpington has started to try to crow! Do I have a rooster or do some hens crow???
