I have been treating my 1yo Silver Laced Wyandotte for more than 7 days. Her is forcing her exhale breathing & gasping. She does not have runny eyes or nose. I don't know her temperature. How do you determine a chickens temperature?
I have wormed her with "worm away". Given her tetracycine (duramycin-10) 2 x daily for 7 days. I think she has something in her airway. I have massaged her throat and crop daily. Her crop feels empty & is soft (little food entering her body) I hand feed her with dissolved layer pellets & eye dropper. I have given her olive oil to make her throat slippery. Nothing seems to help her.
I just read about air sac mites in exotic chickens. Should I treat her for mites?. Her comb is bright red, she is alert, eyes are bright & shiny. But.....she has labored breathing. Any Ideas
