Wheezy hen

Could be a few thing from a respiratory infection to gape worm.  The vet will be able to tell I'm sure.  Let us know how whe gets on !!!

Thank you Aunt Sally and TMG,
Clarabelle has a very noisy chest - her whole body rocks with the effort of breathing.  The Vet didn't need her stethescope really and blames our changeable weather for the infection. 
Anyway, Clarabelle was a very good girl whilst she was given an injection and is back with her eight sisters.  No point keeping her seperated as she has probably already shared her germs with them.  Therefore, they are all now being given medicated water for seven days.
Although the eggs would probably not harm us, it is not recommended to use them.  What a shame!

Good news Cath

Although the eggs probably wouldn't be of any harm to you very low doses of antibiotics like that is one way bacteria become resistant to them.  So for everyone elses wellbeing (including animals) it's best to bin the eggs.  You could feed some of them (hard boiled) back to the chooks while they are taking the antibiotics though.

i don't think getting wet had much to to with the problem, if it did i'd have no hens left! more likely she picked it up from the enviroment.

aw so sorry you did your best.
