Hi, I'm still hoping for someone to offer some knowledgeable input for my chicken and what I should do for her. Can someone discuss her symptoms and what they think is the problem? Do you agree with Walking Wolf that it sounds like Gapeworm? And to treat with Ivermectin? Or could she have a...

Thanks CityChook. That thread is very helpful for understanding how to use the meds. Now, if only I could be sure that she's having a worm problem and not a problem from infection, mold, or ammonia... Does anyone happen to know how I could rule out breathing problems caused by mold or infection...

I haven't opened up her mouth because this girl pecks at everyone! So, I'm not sure what is down there. Is there a way of looking down her throat that doesn't involve being pecked at? I've been looking online and am really confused about all the different choices for ivermectin. Is there a...

Hi lucky clucker and Thanks for your response. Walking Wolf suggested that maybe the honking noise is a result of Gapeworms, have you ever dewormed you birds? I'm wondering if you did, was there any change in your birds honking. I'm reaching for answers here.

Thanks for asking Chicken Boy. She is acting pretty normal accept for the wheezing, honking and squeaking noises that she seems to be making continually. I have given her AC vinegar, vitamin drops, rosemary, garlic, keifer, yogurt and some egg. She's eating well. I have yet to locate some...

Thank you Walking Wolf. I'll see if I can find some Ivermectin somewhere...

Can anyone help with some ideas?

Gap worm? I'm fairly new to chickens and I don't know what gap worm is or how to treat it. Will Wazine work or do I need something else? I have her separated from the others by a fence at the moment. But they want to be together.

I just gave her some egg with garlic and rosemary topped with a couple drops of vitamins and 2 teaspoons of keifer. She is actively gobbling that up. I would still really appreciate some knowledgeable input though.

Well, she's awake and alert and not happy about being confined. But her breathing is still awful. There is loud wheezing with every breath. What should I do?

OK, I just took a long look and there is a little bit of clear runny exudate coming out her nostrils. Plus she's a bit irritable. The coop will be cleaned tomorrow first thing. I have some tetracycline that I could start? Is that a good idea? Or would it be better to wait?

OK, I brought her inside, that separates and warms her at the same time. Her breathing actually sounds TERRIBLE. She is wheezing horribly. Darn, she's my best girl, we love her! Ugh, this is awful. My daughter is already crying. Can anyone tell my what the best treatment is? I know people with...

Does anyone else think I should put the light back in? The night is still young here, it is 7:45 Our night temps are in the mid 40s, I did close up some of the excess ventilation, there is still over 350 square inches of ventilation under the soffets. Could a build up of droppings cause this?

It has been 4 hours now since we first noticed her complaining. It has not gotten better, it sounds like she is honking every few seconds. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior in a chicken before? I have no idea what to do for her.

Hi, I am looking for some advice... I have a Buff Orphington, 18 weeks old, not laying yet, fairly large already. She is active, and eating, I haven't seen her poop (because it is mixed with the others in the flock) she is acting normal otherwise. My daughter noticed her making a constant...
