Laboured breathing for severa minutes after she made a nest out the blanket on my chair. Is she ok
Our take
Is your feathered friend experiencing some cluck-tastic nesting behavior, or is there something more concerning at play? It sounds like you've observed some unusual patterns with your chicken, particularly her laborious breathing and color changes after making a nest out of a blanket. While chickens can indeed get a bit dramatic when preparing to lay eggs, persistent panting and color loss aren’t typical signs of just nesting. It's important to consider other factors, such as stress or health issues. If her behavior continues or worsens, consulting a veterinarian with chicken experience would be egg-cellent. Let's keep our feathered friends happy and healthy—because they certainly keep us on our toes!
| | this is the second time she has done this in my apartment. she makes a nest then stabilizes herself with her wings and starts to pant and loose color in her face and comb . i first thought its just her trying to lay an egg . The first time she has done it she hasnt laid one and now there is nothing either. Now im wondering if its something else ? [link] [comments] |

- Chicken breathing issuesEarlier today I cleaned a brooder of 15 chicks plus three guineas. I came back to check on an hour later and noticed that she was sitting in one spot gasping for air. icked her up and she even stayed still on my lap without being held. Eyes closed gasping for air. The only thing that's changed is me cleaning their area so I decided to bring her inside, give her her own water and food and admittedly she is now eating and drinking but still lethargic. Am I right to suspect the cleaning may have upset her lungs? Is there anything else that I should do? She doesn't look to be gasping anymore but she is still lethargic. submitted by /u/Interesting_Lab_6536 [link] [comments]
