Treatment for hen breathing with mouth open ?

[Bonnieboo]

One of my Hamburg hens was doing this. It appeared she was having trouble breathing. The vet thought she had in inhaled a seed from a wheat grass weed. She is a very small breed and her lung had collapsed. I'm afraid she had to be put to sleep.

Hello BYC

I have exhausted everything I know to try, on my poor hen Polly and Pearl. She has been breathing like this for about 10 days. I isolated her, have given her vitamins and electrolytes, have also tried a bit of oil of oregano in water through a syringe.
Please if anybody knows what it could be, I’m open to try any and all ideas.

The video would be helpful, so hopefully you can get that to us.


Can she eat/drink on her own?
Is her crop emptying completely overnight?
What's her poop like?
Have you looked inside her beak for obstruction, yellow or white pasty material?

How old is she?
When was her last egg?
