Hello.

Had 3 ex-batts for 3 weeks now. To begin with one was under the weather, and had breathing problems, called her "Snorer" then after about week she seemed to make a full recovery and is now bombing around enjoying life. However, the most lively of the 3 now has the same problem, slowed right down, breathing noises, not eating, was thinking after a while she'd recover but now she's starting to smell. Bit worried.

Any advice?

thanks, Jenny

Check your coop for adequate ventilation, what type of bedding do they have?

Were these hens originally free rangers? If so then I would take her to a vets, it sounds like she may have mycoplasma.
You could also contact the organisation that you obtained your hens off to see if others have also got this problem.

Can you describe what you mean by her smelling?  Is it from her breath, if so check for sour crop?  Information on sour crop on this LINK
