No respiratory symptoms, however, about 8 months ago, I had to put down her friend that was having respiratory symptoms and not getting better with meds. It's definitely hot here in SWMO, but they have plenty of shade, fresh cold water (refreshed twice a day) and cold treats on unbearable days. No parasites in my flock at all, that's one thing I watch for religiously. Her crop is empty each morning, before they get let out to free range, because that's when I dose her with calcium/D3. She's been laying shell-less eggs for about 4 months now, and every now and then she will expel a very soft shell with the egg innards. It's so tough to watch, because it's much harder for her to lay than a normal egg. Plus my other girls know and they will circler her until it comes out and eat it immediately. I don't want to cull her, but I feel like it's torture on her to continue and now she's having these symptoms..
I do not de-worm unless I see a need to, and so far I haven't. No new additions. Food is fresh and kept in a locked bin. Definitely no mold. They have access to layer feed, I throw out 5 grain scratch with mealworms each morning, and they free range through out the day.
I don't know what to do. Seems like torture to let her continue on.
