Beak open...sounds like respiratory. What do you have for antibiotics?My name is Jocelyn. I have had chickens since May. This in my first concern with my Mystic hen. She’s been isolating herself away from the other10 and 1 rooster. Tonight she wouldn’t come out of her nesting bo, she wasn’t sitting on any eggs. I’ve brought her into the house. She’s not very active. She and her feet are warm. She’s taken some apple juice through a pet syringe. She’s sleeping with her beak open a little. Please offer me some advice. I don’t want to lose her. TIA![]()
