Becky with the good hair

Hi, today when I went into the coop I found one of my white wyandottes dead on the floor inside. There was not blood or signs of a predator. Any ideas what could have happened? All the other birds are fine. We have 5 pullets around 15 weeks old, 1 roo and 4 hens, all about 3 years old...

My flock has been on Duramycin 10 for 7 days. I want to get them off it ASAP! Their symptoms were swollen eyes, mucus, rattles in breathing, lethargy. There was no strong smell, so I think it was not Coryza. The sickest of them seems mostly better but still a little lethargic, the roo still...

Thanks for your reply Moody Broody & I would love to know what you gave them. I have not put anything in their eyes yet. I hope they don't all get it! I have not found a vet that handles chickens nearby, so I would love to know what you used. Thanks so much

Now I am up to 3 birds with 1 eye closed and swollen. The rest are ok, but the rooster is not crowing & they all seem slower than normal and congested. Does Corid do anything for a respiratory issue or should I switch to Tylan?

2 weeks ago I added 6 young hens (around 10 weeks old) to my flock of 5- 3 year olds (4 hens + 1 roo) I know I should not have added them before a quarantine, but hind site is 20 / 20! Well anyway, all was well until yesterday when my Buff Orp 3 year old started acting odd. Today she's acting...

Thanks for the info! I will post pics of this supposed White Wyandotte as she gets older. I've had 3 different groups of Easter Eggers (but I always thought they were Ameruacanas: now I know the difference!), but anyway they have mostly layed robin's egg blue eggs, or olive, but never pink...

They are supposed to be from a hatchery (bought them from a bee keeper, who also have LOTS of chickens0 Do hatheries sell mixed breeds? I'm curious what she is, but either way I'll love her and she'll lay eggs for my family:)

Thanks for your reply!! Oh, I thought Easter Eggers and Ameruacanas were the same thing. Curious, what's the difference?

She's supposed to be a White Wyandotte, but why is there so much black on her tail and Wheat color around her necK? The 2nd picture shows the rest of the group, who are supposed to be White Wyandotte, Australorp, Americana, Australorp & Americana (left to right)

These are 5 or my 6 new pullets. Breed question: They are supposed to be black brahams, Americanas (the white with slate legs and coco colored hen and White Wyandottes (see a close up fo the White Wyandotte below) Does this look accurate to you? Age question: they are supposed to be 12 weeks...

Here is my new question: How much should a young chicken sleep? The guy we bought them from said they are 12 weeks, but they seem younger. I saw the "sick" one poop and it looks totally normal. What I said was diarrea really looks normal after doing some poop research. I looked into cocci...

Thank you!

Please help! I have an existing flock of 4 hens and a rooster. On Saturday we added 6 , 12 week old pullets. I know we should not have done it this way, but we did integrate them. The little ones are mostly staying in the back of the coop, where they have their own food and water. All was...
