Chicks with respiratory tract infections or hot weather conditions will have the problem of opening their mouths and stretching their necks to breathe, which will affect the normal growth of chicks and may induce more serious problems. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the reasons and solutions for chicks to open their mouths and stretch their necks to breathe.
1.Respiratory tract infections
Chicks have an infection of their respiratory tract, causing inflammation of the airways that may cause them to have difficulty breathing. For example, common colds, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis, air sac inflammation, etc., these diseases can cause chicks to open their mouths and stretch their necks to breathe.
For chicks with respiratory infections open their mouths and necks stretched out to breathe, we mainly use drugs to control the exacerbation of the disease. We can use: Cleansing Swordsman + Doxycycline + Asthma Swordsman to synthesize**, eliminate respiratory tract inflammation and relieve respiratory symptoms.
2.The ambient temperature is too high
If chicks are exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time and are unable to dissipate heat, they may cool down by opening their mouths and stretching their necks to breathe.
Workarounds include providing adequate shade and ventilation and ensuring that the chicks have enough water to maintain a balanced body temperature.
3.Poisoning with harmful gases
Certain toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia, may cause chicks to have difficulty breathing, stretching their necks and opening their mouths to breathe.
Make sure the chicks are kept in a well-ventilated environment and clean the house regularly to reduce the accumulation of harmful gases.
In conclusion, chicks can be caused by a variety of reasons, including overheating, respiratory infections, harmful gas effects, etc. The solutions mainly include providing a suitable environment, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, providing a nutritious and balanced diet, and timely medication. Taking comprehensive measures can effectively reduce the abnormal respiratory symptoms of chicks and protect the health of chicks.
