Hi all,
We have a 1 month old black Maran that has been gasping for air for the last 12 hours.
No others in the flock showing symptoms. Separated her from the flock with food and water. Gave her some
Antibiotics last night but this morning she seems worse. Doesn’t seem like she can breath, each breath is labored.
Our older flock is going through dry fowl pox. They have been separated from the new flock though still as they are too young to mix. We have plan to combine in a month or so.
We keep very clean coop. Pine shavings. When we realized the older girls had dry pox we got mosquito device to eliminate bugs in the coop.
Planning on vaccinating younger birds when they are old enough at six weeks.
We do not have a chicken vet in the area. We are in Long Beach CA, if you know of a vet nearby let me know.
I am going to try and post a video of her breathing.
Not sure what else it could be but maybe wet fowl pox, or some other respiratory problem.
Her stool seems normal. No blood for sure.
I gave her water with a syringe last night but she doesn’t seem to be eating or drinking at this point.
She is quarantined separated from flock with one buddy. Buddy chick is eating and drinking normally.
She is starting to shake randomly because I think breathing is getting worse.
I can’t figure out how to post a video but I’ve posted pics. With each breath she opens her mouth.
Her eyes look swollen and she is not a happy girl.
Any advice is welcome.
