I got my new pair of Bantam Cochins yesterday. They are around a year old.
I noticed that they are slightly weezy and make like a coughing noise. They have normal poops, they are eating and drinking normally.
Now a bit about where I'm keeping them.. They are in a small (12 x 6 feet) shed in my backyard. Its insulated, no drafts and its weather proof. They have straw for bedding. It was just cleaned out, so its a nice thick, fresh layer of straw.
They are eating layer mash, chick starter and a bit of scratch. They always have fresh water.
I live in southern ontario, so the temps. are quite cold. Almost always below freezing.
I did just get them yesterday. Could they have a cold or something ?$
There is no nasal or eye discharge either...
