Respatory Problems

[Anna and The Girls]

Hello, I have a 2 year old Rhode Island Red who has had a respatory illness since August. She has a tremendously hard time breathing and she constantly sneezes and yawns and shakes her head. She has a harder time when she is stressed out and when she is eating. I have tried everything from Tylan to vet rx to apple cider vinager and nothing seems to work. I have no clue on what to do now and with summer coming I don’t know how much longer she can stay in the Georgia heat. Thank you so much for helping.

So sorry to hear about your hen. Hope someone is able to give you some help! I'm pretty new at raising chickens.

You might talk to your vet. Ours will sell me a vial of antibiotic which has helped in the past. Good luck! It is hard to see them suffer.
