This chick is wheezin up a storm, I would say close to 2 breaths per sec. And is squeeking like a lite whistle. IS this an infection or nothing ot worry about?

 

[Chickenhuntin]

Is this Labored breathing or Infectious Laryngotracheitis

 

[Chickenhuntin]

any help please? Is this gonna spread to th erest off my flock?

It may be something to worry about, but not an infection. Could be a deformity from birth? Or vitamine Deficiency? I was reading something about this but cannot recall exactly what it is and my book is at home.

Thank you for the feedback. I thought I was mute. It is just laying under the heat lamp and breathing very heavily. It is reactive when you alert them. But other than that it is not scurrying around like the others. I have seen it eat today no problems even push the other out of the way. But it looks kind of thin.
