you guys have helped me out many times before and im calling on your help once again.
I have a chuck who today has developed a wease, she has been fine up till today.
So far her eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, and still red around the gills and her droppings are normal.
I have just been back out to her coop to hear her and it is a wease but a clear one ie. there is no gurgling sound in with the noise.
any ideas ?
i will take her to the vet tomo but i just wanted to find out peeps ideas !!!

Vet's is the best idea Gregs. A wheeze means lungs rather than nose but even if it's just a cold it would be a good idea to have some antibiotic cover to prevent a secondary infection :!:

I've used Vick succesfully in the past, I've put a dab under each wing and under the chin. The fumes have helped to clear their nasal pasages during the night as they've been roosting. Its certainly worth a try.

Bodger you really are a softie! The image of you carefully dabbing vics under each teeny weeny chick chin and wings has just brought tears to my eyes! :roll:

He likes us to think he's a real ruffy tuffy - but we know the truth, he probably makes them some cocoa at bed time too :roll:

One of my chooks was wheezy and I had to give her antibiotic injections. It did the trick and now she is fine and laying eggies
