My 2 month old chicks presented with sonme type of eye scab, closer look showd raised small bumps. This started last couple weeks. Almost looked like scarring it was crusty on a couple chicks. Some have it and some don't. I thought they were getting scratched from stickers, then yesterday they were all puffed up not eating and lethargic. Their crops were puffed and have been on and off could not get grit on the island. But thought since they were on the ground they would be ok. Thought they were cold cause it rained. Put them up last night and when I took them out this am one was dead and another this afternoon. I put cider vinegar in one waterer and sugar water in the second, then started them on tetracycline today. No other antibiotiic available and no chicken vets on island. I used clorax to clean the night cage as we put them up so the rats wont get them and moved their pen to another area of grass. They are not coughing no respiratory drainage. I thought they had "sour crop and I tipped them upside down and massaged their crop and some a lot of fluid came out. I am not familiar with any of this just doing what I can. Some food came out. I guess I have been lucky at I have 50 layers with no real health illness then I got these girls. Also their feathers are not coming in so I put diatanaceous earth in the ground.I hate to see tomorrow when I wake up. Any body have any ideas am I doing anything right?
