I have a girl that is gurgling when breathing. I rarely get to pick her up and today is the 2nd of the Ex Batts (2nd Batch) 26 week old laying 3 week pullet eggs she has been out and about no outward signs of wrong. Crop small.
Sound of her gurgleing.

Soft egg not a problem as the coop was closed today keeping new girls out so they eat and drink and not stay in coop all day.

You can actually here a bit of it but it is always off putting having a camera shoved in your face.

She does sound a bit rattley Ruff. Could be a number of respiratory problems. I'd consider getting some antibiotic if she doesn't improve in a couple of days.

I had the same thing with Biggins Ruff, it wasnt till Foxy picked him up that we reaslised :shock: he was pecking about as usual and you couldnt hear anything. Anyway, couple of injections and he is back to normal. We had also notice that he lost a little weight so it was a b****y good job Foxy suddenly decided to pick him up

Good luck

Thanks Jelly. What was wrong with Biggins? Was it a trip to the vets?

Do they have apple cider vinegar in their water Roughlee?

One of mine has an odd gurgle I pop ACV in the water and she's ok again :?

Yes they have it all the time. It is a strong gurgling sound almost on every breath. Thinking about it I had just chased her around.

Yes it was a trip to the vets, me, not Biggins, Foxy told me what to ask for it began with t :oops: tyclan or something, anyway, he gave me the injections and I did it myself

Erm you know I..... well it was really bad honest..... I did not sleep very well as I was thinking about it and all. And seriously it was every breath and loud. I am not as paranoid as I was when I first got chickens. Honest ask Foxy She called me Paranoid and Roughlee Handled. Well ok caught the little S@it and all is good. So sorry. :oops:

At least it was a good ending.

So the long and short of it is you chased your chicken around and then worried when she got out of breath! I don't know how she puts up with you!

:roll:

Roughlee Handled · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2008, 20:07 »

NO NO NO it was a definite gurgle loud on every breathHONEST :cry:. I am wondering if some thing went down the wong way when I chased er.

Kate and her Ducks · « **Reply #11 on:** September 22, 2008, 20:08 »

So you have a heavy breathing chicken. Why am I not surprised!

Roughlee Handled · « **Reply #12 on:** September 22, 2008, 20:10 »

Now thats another consideration that she might fancy me and who can blame her.

Kate and her Ducks · « **Reply #13 on:** September 22, 2008, 20:16 »

She might, it would explain the heavy breathing.

It wouldn't explain the running away though!

And before you suggest it I don't think that chickens play hard to get!
