Help! Chicken acting off, Breathing heavier then usual, laying down in random places?

[Jetblack2004]

Keep her warm and comfortable for now. Make sure feed and water is available at all times for her. Tell us if she worsens.

Thanks Jet. I don't think I'll be getting any sleep to it though.

I sm sorry about your hen. You say there is sneezing and wheezing? The Tylan should help with this.

Yes.

What does her vent look like? Does she have poopy feathers back there?

Sorry to hear about this, Cluck.

Austrolorp Hen, 2 Years old

seems lighter then usua

laying on the ground, breathing slightly heavier then normal she is acting off, She is standing odd

She looks normal, it's her behavior Thats off.

I think she has URI.
My stepdad is going to Blue Seal right now and getting Tylan 50 and some VetRX.

She is wheezing a little and sneezing.

Hi @Cluckcluck1215 How is your hen doing?

You mention that her behavior is off and that she is standing odd - is she standing like a penguin or with her foot spread apart with her tail down?
Is she still doing this - if she is, can you post a picture of how she is standing?

Can you feel of her abdomen between her legs and tell us what it's like (compare her to another hen if you need to) does she feel swollen, bloated or does that area feel like it has fluid in it?

I realize you mention that she laid an egg today - are you positive it was her egg? Was the egg normal?

I am 100% sure she laid a egg, and it wascompletely normal and healthy looking.



Update:
She has URI.

My stepdad went to blue seal. He asked for Oral POULTRY Tylan 50. Obviously, the lady did not know what she was doing. She gave him Injectable Swine and Cattle Tylan. URGH!
So far I am using mainly home remedies, until we can go out this afternoon and get her some poultry oral Tylan.
I have given her: some scrambled egg with a little garlic, VetRX, Electroylite Water, A little apple cider vinegar with the ''mother'' mixed with water, and some watered down feed.
I'm going to have to start syringing water into her, she isn't drinking.

I think she's have MG / CRD
Treat her with tylan , tetracycline or Doxycycline. .in water for 7-9 days probiotic course after 10th day ..
