She was away from the flock and in hen house this morning. I noticed that when she breathes she sounds like a percolator. I have lost 2 chickens already with what seemed like Mereks. I only have six hens and one rooster. I have had 2 die on me 2 wks apart. They had simular sysmtoms, they were both found laying in the yard with legs streached out. one died in 24 hours. the other one died 4 days after I noticed the problem 2 wks appart from the first one. This will be the 3rd hen loss if I can't figure it out. I did not notice any percolator sounds with the other 2, like I said I just found them with legs streatched out and could not move on their own. This one is walking around fine, eating and drinking ok too, Just not sure about the noise it seems to be making.... Any info would be appreciated thanks so much....Brian
