    Rooster rough breathing, painful pooping

    My 3 year old Japanese bantam rooster presented with a limp about a month ago, right around when the weather turned cold and wet. I brought him inside, found when bathing his undercarriage in an effort to find the (invisible) source of the limp that he had a breast blister which looked painful...

    Silkie chick with labored breathing

    I have five Silkie chicks in a brooder. The bedding is pine shavings and they have a heat plate with easy access to food and water. I was outside doing chicken chores and came inside to one of the chicks lying down beside the heat plate panting. The other chicks are fine and moving around. I...

    Rooster wheezing - any advice???

    I posted something a couple days ago about how our rooster was vomiting. I haven't seen him do that recently, but a few days ago I noticed that, after running, he seemed to be wheezing. After a minute or two, it would stop, but he has been doing this for a few days and I'm wondering what it...

    Silkie Hen Pants a Lot

    So I noticed that my one hen pants a lot? She often pants when it's not even hot outside and none of the other chickens pant just her. I'm not sure why she pants though she's in the shade and has plenty of cool water. When I listen to her it sounds like she was running or like she was hot but I...

    Could Electrolytes be a bad idea?

    Before our long heatwave started, I had been switching off between ACV and a lactobacillus supplement in the girls' waterer. Then I read that when it's hot, you should stop giving ACV and give them electrolytes instead. So I switched to the Rooster Booster probiotic and electrolyte supplement...

    chicken panting?

    my chicken constantly pants. she’s mostly indoors, living in my house with me because she can’t eat by herself (severe crossbeak), so i can’t imagine it has anything to do with heat. she’s definitely uncomfortable, and can’t settle down when she’s having these “episodes”. has anyone had the same...

    Duckling wing development and panting

    We recently rescued a couple of Pekin ducklings, and I have some concerns about their development. They came to us at two or three weeks old, and we have no idea how they'd been cared for or fed (they were purchased from a local farm supply by a young woman who wanted them as pets, but didn't...

    Heat Stress: At what point should you intervene?

    With temps heating up fast here in SWVA, I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers in telling when chickens have passed the line between "normal" response to heat and heat stress to the degree that they need emergency intervention. We've only gotten into the low to mid 80s, humid, and so far...

    6 week old rooster panting

    I came outside today to find my 6 week old rooster panting, his mouth came up and down, and I brought him inside. It is cold outside, about 10-15 degrees, but barable, not freezing temperature. I gave him 2 drops of ventolin (salbutamol) in some water, and wrapped him in a warm cotton cloth. He...

    Chicken panting

    Hi everyone. I posted on here a few months ago explaining how my bantam was making odd sounds when breathing. Although this isn’t as bad as it was, she now seems to be panting very rapidly. It is hot here at the moment, about 25-30c but the other chickens don’t seem to be affected as much. She...

    Egg bound chicken?

    Today one of my chickens has been walking with her tail to the ground like a penguin. She is still moving around but she is panting heavily. Is she egg bound? I am not sure when she last laid an egg. How should I treat her if she is egg bound? Should I soak her in Epsom salt water? Any advice...

    16 week old with mouth-breathing, white diarrhea

    Ruby (golden comet) is 16 weeks old today. On Friday I noticed her staying in the coop more when everyone else was outside in the run. I got excited because I thought she might be checking out the nesting boxes and planning to lay her first egg. When I went out to shut them in for the night...

    Tip for overheating birds

    I just learned this today going off of a hunch and I wanted to share this for the chance that it could help someone else. If your goose or duck is overheating get their webs wet. Definitly move them to shade or a cooler location and get them some water to drink, preferably with a tub of water...
