Hen gasping for air, no vet available

Thanks for the info. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

We found a video about how to use a q tip and clean the sinuses from the mouth. Pretty sure it saved the lives of a few of our birds last year. You hold their beak open and put the a tip to the roof of their mouth and pull forward. It removes any plugged up mucous and helps the sinuses drain. It does tend to stress them momentarily though, so you'll have to weigh whether it's worth it or not. We currently have one sick and have been putting a couple DROPS of saline right at the nostril so that she breathes it in and hopefully helps clear things.
