Six-week-old cockerel gasping for breath

Not really. Him and his "siblings" were integrated with the big girls about a week or two ago, although they don't generally have much contact with each other.

Let me go look.

Nope.

I don't think so...

We have three adult hens, but this seems unlikely. They mostly ignore the littles.

You have 3 adult birds...have any of those ever showed any signs of a respiratory illness?


The new birds...you hatched or bought from someone?
How long have you had the new ones?

I will. Give me a minute.

I got the video but I'll have to wait until tonight to get it uploaded.

Poor thing.
@casportpony Might be able to offer some advice.

Poor guy. Possibly a respiratory infection or a blockage in his airway. Is a vet an option?

I don't think so.
