One of my chickens seems to have a respatory infection.
One of my silver laced wynedotts seems to have a cold! she sneezes a lot and I think her lungs are filled with mucus. She also breaths mostly through her mouth isntead of her nostrils. Is there any kind of antibiotics I can give her or will she just get over this on her own??- Balluba03

I put the bandage on his legs for about an hour. It was pulling his good leg back, so that both legs were behind him, so I ended up taking that off and leaving him be for the evening. He tries really hard to stand on his good foot, but I need to figure out a way for him to get the bad foot... -

I went to check on the little guy a few minutes ago, and his leg seems to be getting better. The foot has started to turn back to the normal position, and now when I help him stand, he is using the foot flat on the ground; where as before, he would be on his tippie toes!
