My pekin is wheezy!!!

It will not let post a video it says it's too large. I tryed to get a video of his congestion. It worked just it won't let me put the video in.

Other than they do need more space which you know, I'd take out the chick feeder that other bowl has feed in it right? Their waterer looks like they can dunk their heads.

Lets see if @onaharley can give some insight her one Pekin was doing this.

If you can figure out the video that would be good so we can actually see and hear what's going on.

They all look like they are growing good and look healthy from the pics.

Thanks. The other bowl has grit in it so do I need to change out the feeder or leave it?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Not sure they can get anything out of it since their bills maybe to large now?

If you decide to change it out just put the grit in a different bowl.

Hello...Use a rubber Livestock Dish for feed. Something like this for water and get them outside during the day into the Coop and Run. Out in the Run use another rubber livestock bowl for water..

I think yours has the same thing going on as mine. The 2 I have here are eating and drinking just fine, no discharge from nose. I seem to hear it more when bathtime happens. They are 8 weeks old and it has never really gone away. I mostly contribute it to the dust from the pine shavings and my temperature being to warm in the garage. I was done with the heat lamp around the 3 week mark.

Mine have been outside for 2 nights now, I will go Check their breathing to see if has improved. I'll keep you posted.

You are doing all the right things in caring for them, I would just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse.

Ok thank you guys so much. Their bills are getting bigger so that chicken feeder won't last much longer. And one more question : do I need to go ahead and move them outside to the run and house or just on sunny days let them be outside for a little while?

Do what you think is best..They are a lot tougher than you think. Provide warm bedding and allow them out daily..

Will all depend on your temps but if your having a nice sunny day and temps are in the 60's you could set them up where it wouldn't be drafty and let them have some out door time just watch to make sure they aren't chilled. you'll be able to tell by how they are acting, more than likely they will enjoy being outside enjoying themselves.
