breathing

i’ve seen a few others talking about this but something i havnt seen any discussion on is this scenario. i got day old chicks last tuesday and they’re all active and healthy and learning fast. unfortunately no hens took to them so we’re just keeping them inside with a heat lamp and a little set...

Hi all Posting on behalf of my father. He hatched a small brood of chickens and they seem to be doing great. They are in the greenhouse with the ability to roam and scratch around but still have a lamp and warm safe spot to sleep. We had a bad storm here last night and looks like their water...

I have two, sweet Perkins that are 6 weeks old. For roughly four days the two (out of six) have been breathing heavily through there nares. They are still active and eating but their breathing is loud… like a stuffy nose. Their nares look clear and I’ve tried warm baths but nothing seems to be...

I noticed my 2 year old hen breathing pretty deeply and as I took a closer look it seems her nostrils are like sunken in and almost closed up. Got her inside last night to inspect and there was some gunk on the nostrils I tried to clean off but still doesn't help as seems the nostrils are sunken...

We all know how much dust those birds can create, so I'm just wondering who wears some kind of respiratory protection when they are in and around the coop - and when! Have you had any issues from not wearing a mask? Please vote and leave a comment below!

Hey everyone! We have one lady, we call her disheveled, who has been having an issue lately taking a lot of short breaths. We noticed this quite a few weeks ago she started yawning more, so we kept an eye on her. Slowly it started progressing to now. Currently she is breathing through her nose...

I’m back! 🫣 Watching 12 late eggs from arduous hatches roll around actively in my “Lockdown Bator” for 8 days. No peeps, one single pip that I witnessed. She pipped about 6 hours back and I watched it happen. She actually pipped right through the blue colored-pencil heart 🥲 Hoping that’s not...

Hi guys...I have one magpie and one Pekin 7 months drakes..the magpie duck sometimes breath heavily..u can hear his breathing sometimes..I provided them enough water to dunk their head into it and I checked his nostrils and they seems fine with no blockage..so Is this normal to hear his...

Hi, I had two chickens until yesterday. Now I have one and I'm beyond desperate to resolve this. My birds have been sick for two years now with respiratory issues. I have had the vet out on multiple occasions. I had suggested Gapeworm at one point and he said it wasn't (without testing, just...

Hello my 3 year old hen is making labored clicking almost heaving noises !! It’s been a couple days but I think it’s worse. She’s panting with a loud click. I have videos if someone will message me on Instagram Abby.kade I am very anxious and will not sleep

Hi everyone! I’m a first time duck mom and I have two Pekins around 3-4 weeks old I believe. For the last few days, they will have their mouths slightly open to breathe or sometimes when their mouth is closed I can hear the breathing sounding like a stuffy nose. However, I can’t visibly see any...

I have an indoor/outdoor cockerel about 20-22 weeks old (guesstimate). He’s lively and very active. Last night, the back of his comb and the very tips of the top of the last few little spikes looked slightly purple and almost… deadening. I gave him water in case he was dehydrated and since I...

Hello, I have a pair of two week old goslings I brought home a few days ago and one appears to be having trouble breathing. She is eating, drinking, and pooping normally and I have checked the temperature but she is still having trouble. She is breathing with her mouth open and it appears to be...

Please help me!! 2 yo hen, mixed breed. Notice this morning she sounded like she was chatting a lot. It was very low, typical happy chicken mumbling. Then I noticed it was steady, there were no breaks, and I realized it was the sound of her breathing. She appears to be eating fine, acting...

this is a leghorn mix who looks like a chimney sweep because of vaseline i put on her comb when we had some sub zero temps over the weekend. i don’t know if it’s the weather or some other respiratory issue. she sneezed a couple times this morning which is why i grabbed her for a health check and...

Hello all, went to check the birds this morning and my poor little serama slowly walked up to me this morning. She looked cold and pathetic. Shivering. Over all lethargic. She feels a bit lighter than normal. Her comb and wattles are red still. I brought her inside to warm up on the heating...

Hi everyone, One of my hens is suddenly wheezing. She makes an inhale wheeze and then shakes her head a bit. The head shaking doesn’t happen with every breath, but often enough that it is worrisome. Her sister died suddenly about 1.5 weeks ago. Just curled up in a corner to “rest” and was dead...

Please help!! I was already worried enough because this is day 31st of my ducklings hatching process which is pretty late. Then, when I looked at one of the eggs today I noticed it’s bill looked stuck. Please look at the pics and video and let me know if you think this is normal or not. I’m...

Hi, So this is my first time hatching duck eggs. I noticed one of the eggs had a hole in this morning it could have happened last night while I was sleeping but it seems to be in the wrong end. My air cells were a bit weird *being shipped even though I set them for over 24hrs) so I am not sure...
