coughing

Hi everyone! My 5-yr-old Sebastopol gander started acting sick yesterday. All he wanted to do was stand in front of his water bucket and drink. As far as I know, he didn't eat anything yesterday. (He's been pooping only water.) He could walk, but was pretty unsteady. Got into (and out of) the...

Help. One of my hens is making a strange noise like a coughing. She is eating fine and walks around but since a couple of days ago, she started to have this cough or sneeze every 10 to 20 seconds. She does it constantly

hey all. I have an old barred rock hen who we really love. Her name is Chick-choo. She's done laying, probably five years old, but she's really sweet. It's spring here, and we've let our chickens out in the yard, and we noticed Chick-choo listless and gasping for air. Her comb appeared to be...

My chicken has been coughing and gurgleing when she breaths for tge last couple days.... opens her mouth like she wants to gag something up and when she coughs/sneezes spit or something flys around. Can anyone help let me no if she is just sick or needs to go in because something major is wrong...

I need advice on this asap.. Our hen seems to be having some issues. She is believed to be a brahma, maybe 8 years.(Minimum? Not sure.) Seeing as we know that is fairly old for a chicken, we suspect she may be dying of old age, but we aren't sure. She won't move at all except for her head/neck...

We have been struggling with a viral infection for about a week now. It started with one bird (who recently went to fair) and is slowly moving through my flock. It’s all upper respiratory. My vet started the flock on antibiotics 4 days ago. The first bird that showed symptoms improved initially...

I have ducks and chickens living together and am concerned that I have a duck that may have Asper's cough or worm. I wonder if the chickens and ducks can be wormed naturally through feed TOGETHER? For the next few (last days of winter) cannot separate them. Any help is better than none... thanks!

Hi all! My beloved Charles Duckens seem to be coughing a little here and there. Nothing horrible but it is a new thing and being new to ducks I am not sure what it could mean. She doesn't do it while she's eating, she always has lots of fresh clean water to wet her entire duck if she feels the...

I have a chicken that is about a year old. Americauna hen named Sunflower. She has started coughing and is wheezy if you hold her up close you can hear the wheezing. She does a head jerk thing when coughing. Her eyes and nose are clear. She does not have drainage from eyes or nasal...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me. I own three ducks - one female runner and two male cayugas. One of the boys has this coughing or sneezing noise. It's been chronic so far - we just thought it could be a cold that wouldn't disappear. He also seems to lose his voice from time to time, and...

So I did something sort of stupid. Yesterday I bought a very sweet hen from a young woman who breeds and sells a few different varieties of bantam chickens nearby. We were all set up to meet and make the exchange, hen for $, and she let me know the hen was bathed just before she brought her...

Hi all, We are new to chicken diseases but have had chickens for over a year now. Here’s the situation. We own three chickens and we got three more recently. They are in the same pen now but are separate from each other. All of them came from the same local farmer. There is a cream leg bar in...

My Easter Egger, Rue, has been coughing occasionally for a few days. Today we noticed that she's wheezing. If I put my ear to her chest, her breathing sounds normal there, so it seems the wheezing is coming from higher up like from her nostrils. Her piping noises sound hoarse and whistling...

Hello duck gurus! I'm hoping for some sage advice. We have a mixed flock of two year-old Pekins (one female Daphne, one male Peep) and two 3-month female Swedish Blues (Puddles and Stormy). Peep the male Pekin has had a bit of a cough kinda like he's trying to clear his throat for 3-4 days...

Today one of my birds starting sneezing/coughing regularly and I am looking for a treatment. I've ruled out tapeworm, she does not have a runny nose or eyes. She is laying, eating, drinking, running around like normal. Her mood/habits haven't change a all. Tomorrow I'm cleaning the coop to...

Hello, Firt time writer, long time reader! My sister is caring ffa broilers. We had these chicks for a week. Bit earlier in the week I noticed a lot of sneezing. I dismissed it assuming it was due to the crumble getting into their nostrils. Unfortunately, I think I'm wrong. They are sneezing...

One of my pullets has raspy breathing, she keeps coughing/sneezing, and she wasn't eating or drinking this morning, but I have to leave early and I get home late so I haven't had much time to observe her. I bed their house with wood chips and they have 4-5 inches of ventilation. I haven't...

Hi all, I have one chicken in my flock of 17 chickens and a rooster, who has developed a cough. It's almost like a hiccup, or a tiny little sneeze that happens constantly. So far no runny nose - but she tends to be the outcast chicken in the coop and I'm wondering if it is stress related. No...

Hi folks Im wondering how long after stopping a medication like OXY SOL , you guys would wait before eating the chickens eggs. Two weeks? A month? Longer? Here is our situation.... We had 8 chickens (they are all about 23 weeks, so one is now laying, as of last week...the others aren't mature...

Hello there! I have 4 Bourbon red hens, 2 of which are coughing for 3 weeks now. I have been treating them with 1.5ml Tylan 200 orally and little improvement. ( They really really hate this by now) I am looking for any help. I cant get water soluble antibiotics, I heard you need a rx. They...
