My Ameraucana btm. hen has been clicking when she breathes and I've noticed that she has a tiny lump of yellowish/white "stuff" in her mouth. I've read it could be canker, and I'm hoping and praying it isn't. Could canker also be why she is clicking when she breathes?
Right now I am treating her with garlic liquid and arnica in her water. I prefer to treat my animals naturally, but I am open to other ways as well.
Her poops are normal, as far as I can tell. She is a bit pale (just a bit of color in her comb and face), and isn't laying eggs.
I purchased her not to long ago, so I am pretty sure this is stress related. She eats normally, not too much, not too little, and sleeps on the roosting pole.
She got into an "argument" with my other hen just a few minutes ago, and is now laying limply with her eyes closed. I have cleaned her wounds (they aren't serious) and put her in a cage in a darker room, just in case she is stressed.
Anything else I should do? Please help me figure out what is ailing her.
Thanks very much.
