    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    So it’s been a few days. I’ve been giving Squeaky anti inflammation turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. She’s also been getting VetRX. Squeaky’s condition has been up and down. She was not heavy in the rear Monday, but since Tuesday she is heavy again. But she’s not really liquid feeling like...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    She was heavy in the back today, so she might be trying to lay an egg. I’ll check on her later and if the heaviness goes then I’ll know there was an egg inside.

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    I forgot to snap a picture, but I was able to examine her throat. Everything was clear. I did see down her trachea, near the top there was this yellow bulge, it took up about a third of the opening. I think that’s the larynx or the glottis. I’m not sure it’s supposed to be that large, so perhaps...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    If I remember I’ll show you a picture of the birch but it’s got branches that are about 1-2 feet off the ground. I kept them when the tree was young for shade, shelter, and food (they eat the leaves) but I might prune them off this year or at least head them back a lot. It would be easy for a...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    There would not likely be mold in the coop since the bedding is stone dust. (I’ve never seen any myself) The humidity is a lot lower in the coop than outside. The main thing with the coop is dust. Cleaning up the dust makes a big difference & that’s what I’ve been behind on. I haven’t used a...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    Their coop is a 10x14 shed with eight windows and a door. During the daytime I open everything up unless it’s very cold. At night I close it all up but there are two air vents. How can you see inside the throat? I’m not good at mouth exams so I only was able to check the mouth (which looked...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    I checked this morning. No crop or abdomen issues. No cankers in her mouth. I couldn’t see back in her throat since she wasn’t very cooperative. If there’s a way to see, I’d like to know. I’m not very good at mouth exams.

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    I’ll check tomorrow, but I didn’t notice any crop issues with her. I tried checking her mouth tonight, but she wasn’t having it, so I’ll try tomorrow. I’ll check the abdomen tomorrow also, but I don’t recall the unusual weight changes in that area that would signal something like ascites or EYP...

    Hen Can’t Speak Anymore, Breathing Heavy

    My almost 8 Year Old Australorp has been off the last few days. She’s breathing a little bit heavier than normal and can’t speak anymore. When she tries to speak, it ends up sounding like she has a blockage of some sort. Otherwise she acts like the others. She eats, drinks, dirt bathes, etc...
