Hi
Id say about a month ago we had one of our hens start sounding like a Dove and sometimes a kitten. We had some things going on so just jept an eye on her. All her behaviors are normal eating drinking walking laying eggs… its justvher breathing.
It eventually seem to get worse sobwe brought her in and started different treatments on her. She seem to improve some sobwe put her out with other chickens cause we had to go away for a few days. When we got back she had gotten worse so shes back in on treatments and had improved some.
She cant crow , she screeches almost like she has a sore throat. She cant eat bread or apples very well. I think because of dryness and the hardness. She looks like she struggles to breathe, yet is very active.
No coughing up of blood . Could it be gape-worm and if so how do you treat it? Any other ideas?
