    Antibiotic for Respiratory Issues?

    Antibiotic for Respiratory Issues?

    Thank you so much for your help. I've got a few more sick now, 5 in total. Varying degrees of severity. Still mostly just wet, rattled breathing. Not a lot of sneezing. A few have clear discharge coming out of their noses. When do I know it's time to treat with antibiotics?

    Antibiotic for Respiratory Issues?

I thought it was poor ventilation, but I just found much more advanced signs in a rooster that my husband brought home from another farm, so I think the rooster brought...

    Signs of respiratory issues in two hens, multiple questions!

    I am seeing mixed info online on how to handle respiratory issues with chickens. I currently have two hens that have heavy, wet breathing and occasional sneezing. I have them isolated. I am seeing online to treat them with antibiotics but have also seen that these symptoms can be viral, making...
