Chicken breathing hard and sneezing

[chicken4prez]

Hi there!


I've had a chicken that has been breathing hard and gasping for air recently. She also has a poopy bottom. She's eating and drinking fine but I want to make sure nothing is terribly wrong and how I can prevent it.

Thank you!

How are the eyes and nose?
Discharge?

I haven't checked. I'm going to go down there soon anyways so I'll look.

Discharge where?

From the eyes and or nose.

How is your bird?

I didn't get a chance to look too closely because there was an unexpected rush but I did notice that her face seemed to be clean.
