As expected the chickens were standing at the gate this evening ready to be let out. I noticed the Ameracuna seemed to have a hoarse or raspy voice. One of the Wyandottes had some clear mucus in its mouth and breathing with its mouth open slightly.
Reading online it was hard to get a clear answer what the issue was or if there was one at all. I looked at the droppings in the cage and everything looked normal. Both the chickens were eating, active, and eyes/noses looked clear. I'm going to give it another day or two and see what happens.
I tried raisins today and the chickens seemed to peck at it a little more but that's no their thing either. I'm going to try some green vegetables next.
The Barred Rock and Ameracuna wandered back to the run close to sunset but the Wyandottes took a little coaxing. When I checked a little later in the evening all four were in the coop which was new. Mostly only the Ameracuna has been going in there with any frequency.
Also speaking of the Ameracuna it didn't try to jump up in the tree today or look like it planned to escape.
