Beth G. :

I've seen this happen when a rowdy roo sees a pullet getting ready aka POL and tries to mate and they are too rough causing damage to interal air passage ways. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do I'm soo sorry if that is the cause. If you do not have a rooster is there anyway a dog or someone could have booted her or crushed her ribcage?

at 27 wks, not to young. Neighbor has a roo that beat up a hen pretty bad, hen died from it. Was way to aggressive in mating. They are about the same age as your rir there.

I'm not sure that is what it is but, she sure does look and from what you are describing she sounds like she has a punctured lung or air passage way. I actually had this happen to a 1 yr old english orp hen last weekend. Three Juvie Roo's ganged up and over mated her bringing my poor girl to death

By the time I got to her, to save her it was way to late.

I hope she gets better

Hope you girl gets better, but the pic doesn't look like it is in her favor to get better.

Hope and prayers.

Unfortunately there really is no way to know. I did a necropsy afterwards on her b/c I wanted to be sure my theory was acurate for future reference and they actually fractured/broke her ribcage and the rib bone was like a razor blade and sliced her lung

If you mess with her too much it can cause more harm than good and if she does indeed have a fracture with the slightest push it could be bad

I think that if you can make her comfortable and see how she does for now. The only other thing I would do is put some vetrx on her nostrils and a drop in her mouth to help the vapors with breathing. Keep her in a dark, warm, quiet place and see what happens. Or if you feel this is a possibility I would say if she is suffering you consider humanely euth. her. But, that is only an opinion on my part.

So sorry for this.
