Hello all. I have a 3 year old white leghorn hen who has been gaping for breath for about 2 weeks now, but she seems to be worse. She is weak but is still able to walk around, her crop is full, and she has been pooping, but her stool was small. She will arch her neck and wheeze with her mouth open, making a squeaking sound and sticking her tongue out. She has no visible issues (no mites or lumps or injuries) exept that her comb looks slightly discolored (purple ish). We also have had no previous issues with mareks, and about half of our hens are vaccinated for it. All of our hens are feee range.
Should i just cull her?
Thanks.
