Panting chick..?

Can you turn your air condition on then?  They need to find a way to find a happy medium for their temps.  

No A/C in this 83-year-old house, but she seems to be doing better now. I gave her a grape to pick at, and a piece of wet lettuce. She seems pretty happy to be receiving the special attention.

Glad to hear it. If it gets that hot tomorrow try putting an ice cube in the water.

Hi, I'm a long-time chicken owner with a three week old cockerel that tilts his head and pants when he's lying down. He also sneezes occasionally and stretches his legs a lot. Poop is normal, eats, drinks and plays with his mate. My guess is he has a cold and possibly body aches. Lungs are clear, but some possible drainage in his throat. Anyone wanna take a stab at this one?

Does his crop fill and empty? Is he too warm? My first thought would to be to start him on Tylan for a respiratory illness. Mix a teaspoon per gallon of water and give him a bit and make sure he drinks it.

Thanks! I picked up some tetracycline for him
