My buff orphington 3 days ago started heavy breathing, beak closed, no discharge from nose or eyes. Pops are good. Eating, drinking, gaining weight. Yesterday, she started sneezing. This morning, sounds a little wet now. She stands with her wings a little away from her body and look a little puffed up. Not as energetic as the other 3 ,whom have non of these symptoms. Brooder 90 under heat plate and 80 in the rest of the brooder which is approximately 8 square feet. Hemp litter sparingly on the floor on top of puppy pee pads. Changed every other day. I do not have experience with respiratory illnesses. Trying to get to vet tomorrow but doesn't look promising. Can someone give me some directions please. These girls are pets. Hoping to integrate them with my 2 year old hens in a couple months. I don't want to lose her. Thank you for any input or suggestions.
