    Ancona duck wheezing?

    Hello there friends, We have two Ancona ducks a little over two months old. Both seem very happy and healthy, minus the fact that one seems to wheeze rather than quack. And she seems to be wheezing more often now. Doesn't appear to have any blockages, no runny eyes or nose, and not overweight...

    Chicken Struggling to Breathe?

    One of my young hens is making a funky noise every time she breathes and is pale, lethargic, and has a loss of appetite (sorta she did eat a few bites of feed and a piece of soggy bread to eliminate the chance of something being stuck in her throat). We brought her in the house (im in phoenix...

    Hen has blue comb and respiratory probs!

    I have a 1.5 year old leghorn that has been acting odd and I can’t figure out what to do next. On 6/23, I saw her extending her neck and gasping twice and then her behavior returned to normal, so I just assumed she had something stuck in her throat and she cleared it. On 6/24, she began...

    Chicken wheezing

    One of our cockerels is wheezing, and his crop is hard. We're thinking he's probably swallowed something that's obstructing his airway. He occasionally looks like he's going to throw something up. He seems to have a reduced appetite as well, and he keeps scratching his face with his foot as if...

    Sick hen, panting and wheezing

    Hi all! Hoping someone can help me... Last night I noticed one of my 2-year-old hens was hanging out in the corner of the coop, panting. Normally they sleep on their perches, and usually when I see one on the floor it means they're sick. I've seen birds panting a bit the last few days since it...

    Almost a month old duckling feeding question

    I have two ducklings that are about 3 1/2 weeks old. I’ve been feeding them starter feed and also kale and other veggies and fruits. I’ve read that you’re supposed to decrease the protein in their food. How should I do this? What could happen if they have starter feed for too long? On another...

    Chicken is wheezing, favoring one leg...

    Hi all, My Easter egger Mothra suddenly started wheezing. She is also stumbling and favoring one leg. The other chickens are avoiding her and even fighting her. I'm worried this is not looking too good for my little Mothra. Any insight/ ideas? I did read that wheezing could be caused by...

    Non-Emergent: Cockeral Wheezes after Crowing

    I feel sort of guilty posting this when others have much more urgent problems, but I'll do it anyway. My eight month old silkie rooster, Peter, wheezes after he crows. I'm not sure, but I think this is new. I noticed it yesterday morning, because he crowed several times. He crows, then sharply...

    I have a 5 year old, 8.5 lb. Ameraucana rooster named Truman who came down with a respiratory infection yesterday. He is wheezing and has labored breathing. Eyes appear clear and I see no discharges. His appetite seems good and energy level is about the same. He's my favorite chicken...

    Wheezing when breathing after 'possum attack

    Hello, last night an opossum got into our coop and tore out many chicken's feathers, but other than that they all seemed fine except for Millie. She was wheezing. Apart from feathers being plucked out, I don't see any blood on her. I tried massaging her throat and gave her water with olive oil...

    Rescue duckling

    we just rescued a dumped duckling, roughly 4-5 weeks old. She had a fishing hook stuck in her, which the vet got it. She is on Clavamox as a precaution, but has started panting, even with a fan on her and sounds wheezy. Any ideas on what could be causing it? She is still eating and drinking...

    Chicken wheezing, water in crop

    Woke up this morning to go to work and Nugget was breathing hard enough that I could hear it through the open second story window. She's about a year old, Easter egger, and she feels like her regular weight. Still has the energy to try and evade capture, but not enough to actually book it. Eyes...
