Got a 'sick' chicken on my hands
My white rock was wheezing this morning, comb looking dark red, almost purple-ey, looking a bit wide eyed. Someone had nicked her wattle and it was bleeding a bit.. which to me is a possible sign of someone in the flock trying to drive out or challenge the weaker bird. No coughing, no gagging, no sneezing, no head shaking, no 'gaping'... her throat appears to be clear. She laid yesterday and is still eating and drinking. Crop has some food in it, it's not full or hard. No fluid in her chest or abdomen as far as I can tell.
I've got her in a pet carrier, her comb looks normal and her wheezing is slight, almost not there, when she's calm. She was scratching about in the pet carrier... so acting pretty much normal.
They had just had some cracked corn and BOSS, before I noticed her wheezing.
Just going to have to wait and see... I'm not throwing medicine at something I can't even diagnose. Antibiotics are pointless against a virus anyway. Probably going to feed the crew some garlic/cinnamon/chili flake/oregano oil booster... haven't given that to them in a while.

Oh no!! Do you think it's the beginning of a respiratory infection? I hope it's nothing serious.
