hi ,
so 2 of my hens started to be very tired few days ago . i have put them away from the rest. but now i see another hen with the same symptoms(tiredness,not eating,sneezing). i dont want to give antibiotics but i will if not other choice. any advise ?

hi you will have to give anti biotics because if you dont it will spread and you will lose some birds, get some tylan or deniguard, its poss mycoplasma, you have done right in seperating but make sure they are eating and drinking

Thanks. i have start give antibiotics today. i give to all the flock because they are all sneezing. i found out what is happening: they start sneezing then they try scratch the nose and by mistake they touch the eyes what makes eyes infection then they start to be tired because they cant see well.
make sense ?
