Hello all, thank you for your assistance with this! I just got some pullets, 4 months old, a few weeks ago and one of the rhode island red's is unable to walk, she has her legs splayed out and although she can move them, she's unable to be mobile. She is also gaping and holding her beak open...
My 2 year old golden sexlink hen has not been looking very good for the past couple weeks. I noticed 2 days ago that she is slightly opening and closing her beak repeatedly and there is little to no sound. Her chest and whole body is moving much more than it should while breathing. She is...
