Chicks seem to be gasping for air? Standing up straight and throwing their head back gulping. These birds are a minimum of 3 months old, I have lost 4 to date and the last one has just started these symtoms. What can I do...... Please Help

You could try Spark Electrolyte Liquid, or Soluvet - do your chicks have access to grass?

Start it on a broad sepctrum antibiotic. We had a little chick that did the same thing and sounded rattly when it breathed. Nearly lost it a few times but it pulled through even though it has been quite drastically effected. Think because it was so little we gave it a dose for birds that are small like budgies.

But you can also go to your local pet stock and they should have something like oxymav or triple c.
