hi all, i have a 9 weeks old leghorn that is really wheezing badly, she doesnt have a snotty nose or any outward signs but her breathing sounds terrible and she is opening her beak to breath, ive brought her in and put her under the heat lamp have i done right and what else could i do??? i hate to see her like this, she was my first i hatched in incy.

get her to a vet she could have a respiratory infection

yeah waiting for them to open at 9 oclock, if its is an infection is it catching ?

usually - so make sure if the vet gives you antibiotics you get enough to treat them all. Also don't forget to ask your vet about if there is any egg withdrawal period. Fingers crossed it isn't serious.
