Hattie winds up up "honking or coughing" almost everytime she eats corn. I liken it to our clearing our throats. I would guess that is what has happened here. Nothing much to worry about.Thank you. I feel I'm not prepared enough for this venture, I'm always catching up. So today one of my Buckeye pullets let out a single "honk", kind of like a sneeze it seemed. She had been eating some scratch out of crevices in a log. She did it once or twice, then I saw her bend forward and shake her head too. Something went down the wrong way? An hour later another honk, and a little while after that another one. Then nothing for another couple of hours, and now they're roosting. I will look them over tomorrow and keep an eye on them. Shad's hens and @featherhead007 's loss today have me worried and sad and a bit freaked out.
So I looked up @Shadrach 's new recommendation and found this on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Diseases-Fre...p-1873580789/dp/1873580789/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
And a reviewer mentioned that the medicines are all oriented to the U.K. and this reader had to keep looking up the U.S. equivalents. I'm not sure if that is a problem or not. I'm in the U.S. I would think the main thing is to become aware of what is going on, and then work from there using multiple resources.
Amazon also recommended this one by Gail Damerow, The Chicken Health Handbook, is it any good? The author is from Tennessee, is there a benefit to getting one oriented to my country? Or get both books?
