Hey guys!
She of you have probably seen my various other threads about Cornish X chicks for meat and pets. Doodle and Smudge are doing great, but most recent question is about another one of the hens for meat.
They are all about 4-5 weeks old I believe, and I went out to check on the meat flock today, and noticed one of the hens was coughing and wheezing I guess? She had her neck stretched out and up in the air, wit her beak open and it looked like she was gasping for air. She then sneezed a few times, and I assumed she may have worked it out, but I looked back and she was still doing it. I picked her up and brought her to water. She wasn't to interested in drinking, but I did notice bubbles in one of her eyes.
I recently treated a Coccidiosis outbreak, and the temps are starting to rise as well if that has anything to do with it. Any advice is very helpful!
Thanks guys! ☺️
Ps. I would post a video, but I don't have Youtube, and don't really want to get it. If pictures help, I can definitely post those.

Should I be worried about respirator issues at all? I know that bubbles in the eye and sneezing are common symptoms. I also know that you need a vet to confirm it.

This video is pretty similar to what is happening, except they are still peeping, so the sounds isn't as loud.
 
Hi Weeg. If you havent already posted your question in the "emergencies" forum, i think you might get a better response there. I dont have any helpful input re your chick's symptoms, but noticed your post, & that no one answered in this forum.

Ya, I'll try that. Thanks! I don't know why I didn't post it there in first place. 🤔😁
