Hello,
My chick seems to have an issue breathing, when he is laying down he breathes out he sort of squeaks. I haven’t been able to find anything anywhere else on the internet like it. I’m concerned it may be gapeworm but I am unsure. here is a video i uploaded to my old youtube account. Seems to be the only way to post a video here?

Have you looked inside his beak to make sure there's no obstruction?

How old is he compared to the others? Looks like a meat bird(?) so he may be too hot. What's your temperature like?

Yes they are meat birds, we didn’t use a thermometer because we have a large brooder with two different breeds, one end has the light and one end without the light so they have plenty of space to go where they are most comfortable. I haven’t thought to check for obstruction, I’ll do that today. They get up and eat and move around fine so maybe it is a small obstruction.
