    New Pullet Sneezing, Wheezing, Coughing - Has she infected the rest?

    The main downside to keeping your flock intact and treating them is that you cannot in good conscience ever sell a bird to someone or bring more into the flock. If that is what you can live with, then certainly, that is a choice you can make. Some things are passed from wild birds, however...

For one, antibiotics do not kill viruses, so you really haven't cured them at all, even if they get...

    First take them away from your birds. When you get new birds, you MUST quarantine them for a month or more away from the flock. This is why I never get started birds. People sell sick ones all the time, some are devious but some are just ignorant of the facts. Me, I'd put her down and pray your...
