I have 3 Orpingtons that began to experience fast breathing issues a couple days ago. It started with 1, then the 2nd, and now the 3rd is doing it.
Symptoms:
1. Heavy/fast breathing
2. Lethargy
3. Lack of appetite - they are still drinking every so often, but not as much
I posted a quick video on youtube of one of them. Eyes and nose seem clear... no discharge. A couple have had pasty butt, but I cleaned it off. Mouths are closed when breathing, so it doesn't seem like they are panting. Hopefully you guys can help me diagnose this as it seems to be getting worse. As a precautionary measure, I added some electrolytes, probiotics, and corid to their water. They've been drinking that for 2 days and don't seem to be improving.
