    Coryza? Help needed

    I should clarify. My sickies are one (I think) silkie hen and one (I think) Wyandotte roo. The rest of the flock are 3 silkies, sex unknown, and one golden sexlink (meanie).

    Coryza? Help needed

    Hello all. I've been lurking around this forum for about a year but had to register to ask for your help. We purchased 6 small chickens (4-6 weeks old) from a local breeder about 12 weeks ago. Everyone was fine until I noticed some coughing two days ago. I was sneezing too because of pollen so...
