This is a quick TikTok on deflating an inflated air sac on a Polish Hen. I was giving her a bath for the Tri-State show when I noticed it. This will happen to birds if they get bacteria in their lungs. Use an 18 gauge syringe tip to deflate the air and treat with oral antibiotics. DO NOT USE A SEWING NEEDLE as it is not hollow. This is a tip my poultry vet showed me when I first encountered it years ago. Up until that point I had no idea chickens could sell up like a balloon lol
