Update Breathing back to normal. No crop issues. Eating and moving around fine. Not laying but possibly that was hers when I last posted. She certainly seems happy enough. I'm going through a number of issues all at the same time. The hens are all the same age and come from the same terrible...

I'm not sure it was her who laid an egg but one of the two whose eggs I can't identify did. However, she's still not right. Her breathing is making her tail bob slightly as I said, so I checked her abdomen between her legs but just beyond the rib cage. It's quite full and it is pulsating too...

Thanks Eggcessive. No mucus, no head shaking, just elevated breathing rates. Shallow breaths but enough to make the tail dip a little as she does so. I wondered about air sac damage but I don't feel her being inflated. She is very densely feathered so it's not easy to see if any skin is...

She is no longer wheezy or clicking but she is still breathing quite rapidly. It can fluctuate between about 40 to 50 breaths a minute. Yesterday, she did slow down a bit to about 35 at one point. She's moving about ok. She laid an egg yesterday. She's eating and drinking normally. So maybe...

Thanks. That's an excellent article which I've bookmarked. Her crop is absolutely empty this morning and she was first out. She went straight to food. Her breathing is more wheezy than noisy and her taste of breathing has slowed down a bit. I've now got the VetRx which I will use on her beak...

Thanks for the reply. The crop was flat - I struggled to even find it because I too thought that might have happened. She is much the same today. Her breathing rate is 45 to 50 breaths per minute, so significantly more then the usual 30 to 35. However she's preening and socialising fairly...

I picked up one of my girls today because I noticed she was a bit slower than usual and I thought it might be her feet (which get muck trapped in the flaps of skin between her toes). She started panting and a clicking sound was coming from her body (not her mouth). She did say one point shake...
