Chirping
My 3 year old hen died last night and I'm just trying to figure out why. She has been having labored breathing since the winter time, I put her on Tylan then thinking she had a respiratory issue. Since then she has been on and off with the labored breathing. Yesterday she was lethargic and didn't eat or drink all day. I noticed she had gargled breathing and was breathing really hard. I brought her inside out of the heat and tried to give her some water with a syringe by put the water on her beak, it seemed to work but she had no interest in drinking or eating herself. Her crop was empty. Before I tried giving her water, she had a clear watery liquid dripping from her nose and her vent. I was holding her and she kind of convulsed/sneezed and pushed a small amount of her intestines out of her vent, I got it to go back in and stay in but she was not egg bound and had not laid eggs in months. She had no evidence of being egg bound. I soaked her in a warm bath anyhow, she refused to stand but seemed to enjoy the bath. Can anyone help me figure this out?
