respiratory

Hi everyone, Ive had this chicken for about a month, shes around 3 years old and an isa brown. When I first got her I noticed she was shaking her head a lot. As time has passed things have gotten worse. Shes been drooling excess saliva for around a week now, usually clear/foamy. Today it was...

Hi All! I'm hoping someone can offer canker expertise/experience. My 3 year old Black Rock chicken (Marilyn) has been shaking her head and making strange gurgles in her throat for months now. The problem has come and gone several times as I have tried various things. I treated for canker...

I have chickens that have an respiratory problem. I just introduced new chickens that had it, but thought they were better. I let them out of their coop. My chickens that I already had though caught what they had and they seem to be getting it back. Today my older chickens are not eating a lot...

My bantams have been so healthy this year, they avoided all coccidia and other deathly things. Today I walk into the bantam enclosure, and I'm seeing a couple with bubbly eyes, and several more are coughing. Especially so when they're drinking. And so far only one I can see is sitting on the...

So I am about to bring home some very expensive young birds to create a breeding flock of BLRWs which will be kept in a seperate coop n pen but close to the others that are just for eggs. I’ve got probably 5-6 chickens that are still showing symptoms after a 5 day treatment of Baytrill given...

Hi everyone! I have an sweet little bantam easter egger named Darling that may be showing signs of a respiratory illness. She keeps one of her eyes closed. It doesn't look irritated, red or swollen but she does keep it closed most of the time. I've noticed a few days ago her pecking was off when...

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...

My two buff orpington have been wheezing since March. No other symptoms, only these two chickens. I sent in throat swabs to Zoologix to do their Poultry Respiratory PCR (tests influenza, Aspergillus, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis, infectious coryza, Ornithobacterium...

Forewarning, this is going to be long lol Problem: My two Buff Orpingtons are breathing roughly. The more they move, the more the raspy wheezing increases. There is NO discharge from the eyes or nostrils. No other symptoms (except one just started showing signs of vent gleet yesterday). They...

Hi, I just started raising Cornish cross. I have only had egg laying hens before this. I read a lot about the breed before getting into them and everything was going super (@ 7 weeks) until I brought home 3 ayam cemanis. They all get along but a few days later my Cornish cross started...

A few weeks ago one of my little chicks would open and close her mouth while snuggling in my hand, she wasn't gasping necessarily just open and closing and only when she had her eyes closed and was still. She was eating and drinking and pooping all fine, so I treated for cocci with corid and...

Have you ever had a flock with a respiratory disease that was incurable? If so, did you keep or cull the birds? The reason I ask is because mine might but I'm curious about others. I've been worried about this all day and am going to have mine checked.

I’ve read multiple conflicting articles and forums on using diatomaceous earth in dust baths. Some say not to use it because it can cause respiratory problems and others do. I’m just looking for more opinions and a general consensus. Also I’ve heard wood ash but would this count as a similar...

I got 2 five week old lavender orps from a breeder yesterday, and they seemed to be doing fine! However I noticed later in the day, and today that one of the chicks is sneezing and making some sort of weird gurgle sound, however the gurgle sound and sneezes are very infrequent but when they do...

Young roo not responding to denagard or amoxicillin for respiratory issue. Can I give him anything for the severe wheezing he is suffering with? He has been sick for six months or longer with no apparent help from either medicine mentioned. Trying Duramycin start today. I need to help ease...

My biggest and seemingly healthiest Buff Orpington/Ameraucana mix, Biscuit Bird, has a problem. I brought her into the house yesterday for a daily visit with my parents, but my mom noticed that she was sneezing, and that her nose was runny. I had a look, and her nose did have some clear liquid...

I have a silkie hen and her eye is swollen as shown in this picture. I gave her tylan 50 last night. Her other eye was closed and today was open after the injection. So I see some improvement on that eye. But this swollen eye has me panicking as a first time silkie owner. I have removed her and...

We are have two chickens, one escaped from some bird fighting people so we kept her and we got another to keep her company. We are very new to this. Now they seem to have got gapeworm or a respiratory illness. Not running nose but lethargy, closing eyes often and opening beak. The one is a...
