Please help, chicken STILL sick

[Sonshine Acre Chickens]

I would have thought she would be better now as well. How old is she? It might just be a symptom of old age and nothing can be done. Will keep my eye out and post if I find anything that might be helpful on this thread.

Cheers,

Dakota

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. She's just a year old. I keep searching but I really haven't found anything about a chicken that can't bawk anymore and wheezes All her other symptoms of sneezing and mucous have gone. Also wondering if they ever get permanently damaged from illness? Idk I didn't anticipate having chickens being so stressful Thank you so much

No problem! She may be permanetly affected... but if you don't mind a bit of wheezing you should be fine. Is this your first time having birds?

 

[natgrinks]

Yes We got them in October. Do you know how I would be able to tell the difference in her just wheezing or struggling to breathe wheezing? I have nothing to compare it too

This might be worth reading:

It has some info near the bottom on the "wheezing" issue.

Hope this helps!
