respiratory infection

Hi all! We adopted several older hens (3-6 years) a few months ago. We quarantined them for a week before mixing them in with our others and had no problems. Everybody looks and acts perfectly healthy. But... about two days ago, I discovered that I could hear one hen breathing. It doesn't seem...

Hello everyone. Let me start off by saying I just started treating my flock of hens with ivermectin paste and water dissolvable antibiotics 3 days ago due to either gape worm or a respiratory infection. I lost the original hen that started showing signs but all others seem to be stabilized now...

Good evening. I am hoping to get some advice on treatment for chicks that have just started sneezing and sound crackly/wheezing when breathing. This has started within the past 24 hours. I have not noticed any eye or nasal discharge.They are approximately 2-3 week old chicks and a variety of...

I think this is Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) but is there something else it could be? Do you recommend anything besides rest, warmth and Tylan 50? Looking for suggestions as to what's going on with my rooster, in case I have overlooked something. Been doing a lot of reading. Here are the...

I have an Americana that is roughly 6 months old. The other evening I noticed her eyes were runny and bubbling and that she was kind of "gurgling." I immediately separated her from the rest of the flock while trying to identify what it was. Her symptoms seemed to match that of MG. It was...

I have an all-white female budgie named Snowy who has been very sick for about two weeks now. I realise this forum is for chickens but I was hoping many of you may have more experience with how to treat your birds wholistically and be of some help. We took her to the vet as soon as we noticed...

How the heck does a closed flock get respiratory infection? I’m not exactly sure which specific infection it is. They sneeze a little bit during the day but at night is when you can really hear the gurgling when they breath. They do have nasal discharge but no other symptoms, they eat/drink/and...

I have chickens that have an respiratory problem. I just introduced new chickens that had it, but thought they were better. I let them out of their coop. My chickens that I already had though caught what they had and they seem to be getting it back. Today my older chickens are not eating a lot...

Our silkie hen has been acting strange as of a few weeks ago. She is around four or five years old and is at the bottom of the pecking order in our flock of five bantams. I felt her crop this evening and it did not seem very full, and I could tell she was very skinny as I could pinch her keel...

I have one hen who has been having the "sniffles" for a couple months now. I noticed that she has been breathing through her mouth and I hear her sneezing occasionally. I have noticed no nasal discharge and no change in behavior. She is the only bird out of my flock showing any symptoms. I would...

Hi all, I'm fairly certain my one chicken has a respiratory infection and I've been giving her 100mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 3 days. SHe has not improved though. Her symptoms are sneezing and opening her mouth to breath. I worry she won't make it. She has always been extremely fussy (I...

My 5 month old feather foot buff Brahma started wheezing tonight. At first it sounded like, "HEEEE Haaaw". My chicks free range and I was outside most of the day with them. All day normal eating, drinking, running around until about 6 pm when Dixie Chick ran by me making that awful noise. I...

I have a 11 month old d'Anver pullet that sounds congested, fluid in the lungs? We have had an outbreak of respiratory infections in our chickens, but they have been put under control, except in roosters with mites. Those have mostly died suddenly and we seemed to have gotten mites under...
