My chickens have been constantly sneezing, I am not sure if it is a respiratory infection or because I just changed to coco chips for their run. They have been sneezing for over a week now, the issue is that I just introduced a new rooster to my flock which might have given a virus to everyone.
symptoms:
- A lot of mucous in beak
- Sneezing
- Laboured crowing (in the roo)
They seem to be acting fine otherwise. I have two separate flocks and would not like to infect my show chickens. I have given them antibiotics for around 4 days now and they do not seem to have improved whatsoever. Am I able to keep the flock if they are infected though? unfortunately some of these chickens are pretty rare and I wouldn't be able to find them easily here.
I am also wondering if there are any chicken respiratory diseases that can be transferred to parrots as I do own some.
