Wheezing!

[Schmidt Hill Farm]

I just brought my silkies out to the chicken yard for the first time since I got them. They are all six months old. Some of them started fighting so I tried to separate them and when I picked up one of my hens. I realized she was wheezing. I haven’t heard any of the other birds wheezing but I can’t tell if it’s because she is excited or sick. What do I need to do?

It could be allergies or excitement. How long have you had them and where did you get them.

Almost 3 weeks and I got them from a friend that’s been keeping chickens for 15 years.

I'd just monitor her for now, I wouldn't worry too much.

Ok. Thank you
