Sick chicken

You might also ask if they carry VetRX. It can help soothe the symptoms and make her feel more comfortable.

Thank you so much!

Can you get a video of her actions? Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

Please look inside her beak for obstruction, lesions, white/yellow pasty material. What does her crop feel like?
Feel her over to make sure there's no air filled bulges under her skin - around the wings, abdomen, etc.

Could she have gotten into anything moldy or something that would have irritated her respiratory system?

IF you decide that she is suffering from respiratory disease instead of something else like obstruction, then you can try Tylan/Tylosin. Sometimes you can find Tylan50 on the shelf at TSC. You can order Tylosin powder online. https://jedds.com/products/tylosin-powder?_pos=6&_sid=871f55bf8&_ss=r

Keep her hydrated. You can give electrolytes or vitamins for a few days, but do make fresh plain water available too.

Thanks. I very much appreciate it!

She's eating some, but not as much as usual. She not hunched up. We use hay for bedding, not diatomaceous earth. We use Tractor Supply. I'll be making a trip there in the morning.

Me too for some respitory antibiotics so my other chicks are safe

I heard that nevulizing can be great for that with the right thing

Is she a new addition to your flock or did you recently add to your flock?

How much ventilation do your chickens have in their coop? Even in winter good ventilation is important.

I hope she will recover soon with the use of Tylan50. Lets us know how she is doing.
