In his coat today Rudy wasn't any less warm then any of the feathered chickens. He still doesn't like to wear it, but at least w/ it he can stay outside.

I have a hen that wheezes every time she breathes in and out. No discharge of the eyes or nose and no other accompanying symptoms other than maybe being slightly lethargic, although she keeps up with the others and eats/drinks just fine. It started when she became broody during the hottest days of summer - I tried to do some research and found that prolonged heat can mess up their respiratory system but there has been no real improvement and it actually seems more pronounced since the cold snap hit... Any suggestions??

have you put your ear under her wing to listen to her breathing?? I'd be tempted to get her on tylan in case she has an infection
