Hi so I lost a pullet 2 days ago to what we thought was a sinus infection, vet did too. We treated her with antibiotics etc she never recovered. She only had swelling under eye, no respiratory symptoms at all! Now my other lavender Orpington is showing signs of upper respiratory, gurgling and sneezing. Ironically the other 6 chicks are very healthy it's only the orps who get sick I have 2 Sussex from the same farm that are healthy. I'm wondering if it could be mold or fungi? We've recently had a lot of rain and there pen seemed damp and I noticed some white mold under a water dish. I've thoroughly cleaned and put in a lot of bedding, sand with shavings on top and hay where they sleep, it seems very dry now. I've had them all on duramycin since the pullet died. She was on clavamox which didn't seem to help her at all. Should I try Oxine? I've been reading about it on here for mold, fungi, viruses etc and Tylan for him as well as duramycin? Any advice on giving Tylan orally? Thank you! I'd really like to save this guy after losing her
