Help! Have 8 mth old chicken gasping & wheezing. She's acting pretty normal, running around, pecking/scratching, eating, drinking, but has this gasping/wheezing, that I'm sure is affecting her sleep/rest.
Have cleaned coop, layer of DE & Sweet PDZ, topped w/play sand & 2 bales of hay in 6'X 8'X 8' coop. Weather keeps changing from hot to chilly 78 to 40's/50's. Been chilly here last couple weeks, after temp flux of up & dn.
Windows covered w/plastic or pillow cases. Putting VetRX in warm water & offering to all 6 chickens.
Bought liquid B12 vitamin w/Menadione (vit K) & Life Lytes mega tab vitamin & electrolyte supp. to use in poultry water. Will administer liquid B12 to her orally in the morning, & put tab in water bowl, for all.
Too worried to sleep much, due to first time having chickens. NO ONE to help/advise what to do, especially those who were all too eager to sell hubby chickens. Closest, reliable, avian vet 60+ miles $200-$300 to check.
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.
