Sick little girl... Please help :(

[katiec11]

Hey guys... Long time lover first time poster

This morning I noticed one of my girls wheezing loudly(16wk Pekin bantam) - she didn't come have toast with the other girls but that's fairly normal for her .
She did a couple sneezes this morning- after one she did some head shakes that went for about 2-3 seconds although it felt like a life time.

I have a feeling it's a cold and have given antibiotics followed by 4 mealworms which she was happy about.
I would love any help or advise.

thanks

Thank you I have posted it- I didn't actually know what I was doing and couldn't delete the double up

Welcome to backyard chickens. I hope you post in detail about your sick girl., at the "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread.

My former,chicken friend lost several of her birds trying to nurse them herself. She decided her hen had a cold so kept giving it Alka seltzer cold relief for humans. When she found the bird dead one morning, it had worms coming out of its mouth. She didn't have a cold, she had gapeworms. She thinks because she had chickens over 25 years, she is qualified to diagnose and treat them with anything Walmart has otc and cheap.
