Various breeds of bantams...all avg weight for breed. All are fairly young birds at 1yr or less.

Birds are eating fine and no sign of lack of appetite. Eyes appear to have little bubbles and look watery. All birds affected are also breathing oddly like they have water in their throats and make a noise between a cough and hicup.

No signs of trauma.

No pics at this time. Birds seem to be developing white spots along the inside of their throats which seem to turn into enlarged hardened areas of pus...maybe pox?

Have several different birds in different pens...before quarantine, some birds were in cages w wire bottoms off the ground others in pens on the ground and others in cages w fresh straw on the floor.
