In Dec I took in 3 rescue hens from bad living conditions. One suffered from severe lung issues and did not recover. I kept the remaining 2 in quarantine for 90 days and they recovered nicely .I introduced them to my flock in early April. Now several (most)of my flock have a gurgle when they breath. I'm not sure were to start with treatment.
I prefer not to use antibiotics but I did treat the rescues with oxytetracycline because they were in such bad shape. It did help the hen that didn't make it but she only improved for a short while then relapsed, the other 2 never (and still don't) show any breathing symptoms.
Any ideas to help my flock would be great.
Thanks
