Coughing Chick

[Mariyam Abbas]

My most active 3 months old chick today coughing, her neck jerking and with it some liquid splash out. It seem to have some problem in her throat as she is opening her mouth and seem little weak. My brother told she swallowed a long hair and he tried to pull half of it out but rest was so deep in her neck that it broke in between from then she was jerking but now acting weird.


How to save her?

Try breathing to her mouth but open her mouth carefully. Give her a gentle CPR lay her down gently and give her a gentle CPR. or let her drink water or a type of medicine to cure her up

Hmmm?..Do you provide Grit?..A bit of food and grit might help.

Its always CRD when they start coughing sneezing and wet eyes nose .

I've been have 2-3 daily post on this CRD

Treat ur chick with Tylan Or Doxycycline

Sounds a lot like Virulent Newcastle Disease. My kids are in 4H and we just received this announcement of VND discovered in southern California- hope not but FYI HERE: http://ucanr.edu/sites/poultry/Virulent_Newcastle_Disease_Outbreak_Information_and_Resources/

Oh sad Newcastle is deadly but being a avian behaviorist coughing is not always Newcastle .
NDV is viral infection most likely to happen when weather change .
Also there's a terminator called viral terminator which we give here in India for Newcastle . also we have been looking to chickens who have Newcastle and give plenty of garlic with Basil & neem leafs . and double vitamins we see miraculous change in health all chickens doing fine

Fascinating Saaniya! I had been feeding my sick chicken (that seemed to be suffering from worms perhaps) chunks of garlic and yogurt with olive oil. And yes, I gave her Nutri Drench (a vitamin supplement) and she miraculously healed from her ailment. I will add basil to my health remedies!

Garlic and all herbal plants are very helpful

The neck isn’t broken, it would have died instantly. Do not do cpr unless it stops breathing.

If she swallow a hair give her some water or oilve oil once see if its not wrap around her tounge don't try to pull hair if its hanging cut it and give her water it will go down and she will poop soon the hair .
