Got a funny acting hen. Panting and honking.
Any opinions?

@campingshaws , looks like they're all panting a bit.
Has she laid yet today? Sometimes an egg can press against the air sacs and cause labored breathing and funny noises.
She seems to be alert and active. I'd observe her for any odd symtpoms that develop (ie: drippy nostrils, lethargy, hunched and puffed, going off food/water).

Wishing, I've got a golden retriever with spring/summer skin allergies. The vet gives her a shot of steroids when it flares up, and within a couple of days she's fine. However, I've read that adding coconut oil to their daily food will not only help get rid of allergies, but it's great for their skin and coats. I'm going to try it.
Thank you for the coconut oil info!The amount of coconut oil for dogs to be given in their food is 1 tablespoon for every 30 pounds of weight mixed right into their food. I've heard great things about it for skin and hair, too. Mostly I use it for baking and cooking, but I've also tried "swishing" it like mouthwash (sounds as weird as it actually is, but really makes your teeth whiter and feel silky smooth).
On another note, I ordered 6 chicks from greenfire farms! They will be here May 20th. I can't wait to put them under my big sweet broody black Orpington!
