Hi all
Once a chicken brought in a cold and the rest of the flock got it. it was never severe, just some sneezing once in a while.
But after about 2 years my one black chicken now is coughing for 1 month and a week. She has to stop eating to cough and breath, she breaths with mouth open and I can hear her breathing.
I have been giving antibiotics now for 1 month (doxycycline + tylen) ordered by my vet.
its not getting better so I am stopping the antibiotics...
Do you have any advice?
She is 2-3 years old, black tall and slender. She lays eggs still, eats, drinks, does all the usual..
my vet thinks it might be chronical since she might have already damaged her lungs.
the coop is cleaned daily (poop taken out).
They have 1 little door that is always open and a little window. The other 2 chickens don thave the illness.
