Hello,
I have a hen who's currently having some difficulty breathing. She's one of the sweetest hens I've ever had and I just want to help her get better, so any advice is super appreciated!
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the...
After bringing my chicks in from the garage to keep warm during a power outage I noticed that one of my wyandottes is breathing through her mouth and making a crackling noise.
I haven't noticed any diarrhea or any other symptoms
Any idea what it could be or at least a general treatment? They...
This is my third post about my chicks sneezing. It never seems to end. My chicks started sneezing at about 1 week old, and ever since they haven't stopped. For the first 3 weeks I used very dusty pine shavings, but got rid of them and replaced them with larger shavings as soon as the other stuff...
Hi everyone,
I have a 3yo cornish indian game bird called Penny who's not been doing too well today. Shes been sneezing for the past few days, I've had respiratory aid in her water, she had a full crop last night. I've also noticed this week small amounts of blood in some of her poop (see pic)...
My 1yo Barred Rock is sick. Yesterday day he was fine with no symptoms. Today we went to town and by 11 am when we got back he had a gurgling cough and was wheezing. We've isolated him and none of the hens are yet showing symptoms. He only coughs and wheezes now when he gets excited, but...
I have a very small rosecomb bantam, I don't know her exact age but I estimate it to be around 3-5 years, she's always been low weight and I've never noticed her losing any weight or gaining any either, but she has had some health problems in the past and we had to take her to the vet multiple...
Hi there,
So I have a beautiful silkie hen who is my main paint breeder. She has recently had a sneeze but I assumed it was because of the cold weather and it’s off and on temperature (warm cold warm cold). Today I noticed she has begun to get foamy/bubbly eyes and I immediately brought her...
I have a one year old hen which is making weird coughing like noises and gasping occassionly. She is drinking and eating just fine but i am very concerned since my other hen who was of same age died earlier this year. She also was completely fine except for the coughing like noises. She died...
Hi all :)
I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short.
I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...
My favorite hen, an EE, came back from the brink of death a few months ago. She had been battling EYP but ultimately pulled through. Since then she's been thriving and it's been my pride and joy seeing her out with the others looking strong and happy again, for months now. But always looming is...
I've posted about this before but I have a 12 week-ish old pullet who has been wheezing & sneezing (or coughing?) for almost a week (first noticed last Sunday). When I first noticed her wheeze it was an extreme honking noise and she was sneezing quite a lot. Here's a video...

I've got a strange respiratory illness moving through my flock. So far none of my chickens have died from it. it started with one of my roosters. He was fine that morning, running around picking as usual. 20 min. Later he was falling over, couldn't stand up, he was wheezing, and had thick ropy...
One of my Brahmas, Metrowizard, started making a croaking sound today. It sounds like a respiratory issue.
I took her to the vet this morning and they gave me antibiotics for her. I only took her to my local vet, not my avian vet (which is further away), so I wanted to hear what other people...
Help! It's been one thing after another--scratch that, multiple things overlapping for my poor chickens. I just started a de-worming regimen yesterday after evidence of roundworms in a couple poops. I thought the culprit might be my 1.5 y/o EE, who had just started molting, stopped laying, and...
We recently saw one of our pullets showing symptoms of what looks to be respiratory disease. She had a runny nose and one of her eyes was bubbly so we quarantined her and began her on Tylan water but now one or two days later we found one of our other bigger girls showing some bubbles in one of...
I have a previously well 9 week old pekin bantam chick.
Since I purchased it as a 1 week old i had noted it sneeze intermittently but it was otherwise completely well.
8 days ago it developed an increased respiratory rate, intermittent wheezing and breathing with the beak parted most of the...
Hi all! Hoping someone can help me...
Last night I noticed one of my 2-year-old hens was hanging out in the corner of the coop, panting. Normally they sleep on their perches, and usually when I see one on the floor it means they're sick. I've seen birds panting a bit the last few days since it...
Last night (about 9 pm) when locking up my birds I noticed one Hen (golden comet) was laboring to breathe and had a little bit of a rattle. She had no discharge from her eyes or nose, no swelling anywhere, her wattles and combs looked nice and red. She coughed one good time and the rattle...
