Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[staceychristie]

Hi,

We've had Daisy for 2 years. She's always been sneezy and had the occasional rattle. This has been cleared by a slight tapping on the back, she coughs then she's ok. Now she's just gurgling like a drain. The vet has given her an antibiotic injection. She's still 'playing' with her food, and drinking OK. Wormed with Flubenvet in June. The other 2 girls are fine, and they've never had a problem, so it's not infectious. Poos are just liquid. Not laid for a year .

Any ideas ? Thank you

Sour crop?

[staceychristie]

No not sour crop. She's still eating a bit of grain. Vet (poultry specialist) has given her a shot of antibiotics and a dialectic. She's not rattling as much as she was, but still a bit sad - she's still fighting the other girls off if they dare to eat her food. It sounds like bronchitis.

Keep you posed. Thanks for your help

Poor girl, I hope the anti-b's work for her . If she's still being a bit feisty, that's a good sign .

Rattle gone, and breathing ok (said touching a big piece of wood). We're stuffing her up with corn on the cob, porridge and lettuce. Greedy girl.

Thanks
