What exactly happened to her beak? It sounds to me like an obstruction of her upper airway that may be caused by her damaged beak. How is she behaving? Is she acting lethargic or slow? I had a rescued hen from a "free range" facility who had been de-beaked close to her nostrils. She occasionally would wheeze due the problems caused by the beak mutilation inflicted on her at the hatchery. She lived a happy, healthy life for years after rescuing her.

I have a hen that had an injury to her beak a week and a half ago. The top layer of her top beak was broken. The last two days she appears to be making a wheezing sound. I have some tetracycline. Should I give it to her? If so, how long do we need to not eat her eggs? Thank you!
