Still going strong here. 2.20am now. Penny is my sick chicken, and Henny is the healthy one. Penny is still going alright, I'm keeping a close eye on her (every 15 or so mins). I just pop my head in, wait for breathing and quietly creep back out. Only 3 hours until the sun comes up....

Try the medicineVetRx. It helps respiratory ailments and you can buy it at your local farm store. Good luck!

Thanks. Our produce store is shut tomorrow due to a public holiday. Actually, they will likely be flooded tomorrow aswell. I will call around some vets tomorrow and hopefully find one that's open

Oh, that stinks! Here is a link to it, anyways: http://www.amazon.com/Vet-Rx-Bird-2-oz/dp/B0002YFA04
I'm glad you're calling the vet tomorrow. How is she doing?

 

[alecia86]

She's alright, still sounds the same. But still ok otherwise, still moves around, stretches when I wake her up etc etc. she really seems normal other than her wheezy throat. I'll get her through the night, even if I have to hug her until morning

 

[alecia86]

After this, I will be having some medicine on hand!

 

[alecia86]

So glad I brought them in! The wind is ripping the tarp off their coop. Eep

I wouldn't steam up the bathroom. I would be afraid it might chill them. I've had chickens before sounded different at times. They would eat something and sound weird. Look up gape worms as well. You can look down their throats to see them. I live in BC Canada and we always get weather like that. We live in the rain forest. I love that weather. I would go outside and there would be small streams draining off our back yard. We finally put drainage around the property and it helped. You would walk in 2 to 3 inches of water pooled in the yard.

Thanks pwand. The only symptom that really fits is the wheezing. Nevertheless, I am going to hopefully find a vet that can see her today she is still eating this morning, though slowed down a bit I think.
