Hi, I am new to backyard chicks and I have a pullet who sounds and looks like she is having trouble breathing.
She started out sneezing and would shake her head a bit. She holds her mouth open sometimes and stretches out her neck out. She is not eating as much and sits on her roost more than before. Her breathing sounds like bubbles too. I don't notice it all the time but just went to clean things up a bit and took a video, but I cannot figure out to upload it.
It has been rainy here and I let her free range. She used to range with three cockerels but we got rid of them a couple of days ago. There are now two new pullets as well. I thought maybe it was out of sadness that she was uninterested in food and roosted, but now I am not sure.
Any help? I have been reading about respiratory diseases and don't know if a reg vet can help.
