The vet said to try not to let her get stressed! Despite the heart murmur Jasmine is top serama and takes no nonsense from the other little girls. I think she is top because she came into the flock before the remaining little girls.<\/p>\n<p>But Jasmine is now moulting. I have seen her fluffy, silky feathers, drifting around her. I think that is what is stressing her at the moment. I just hope that she will bounce back from this. The moult can be so hard on these girls. I think it was the moult that triggered Salmon into the wheezing.<\/p>\n<p>I am disappointed that we are now on day three of the tylan and Salmon is still wheezing. I really hope she can shake this off soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speckles is very often surrounded by the little girls while Flame and Ebony are elsewhere.
