Hello dear chicken friends,
Back again, finally got results from an autopsy we done on one of our chickens that died right at the vet. Pneumonia it is, fungal infection... We have spent probably over $1000 CAD with all medications, several vet visits with many different chickens and an autopsy to top it off in the last 3 1/2 months, and the vets recommendation is to cull all chickens and start over as there is no treatment.
I am getting tired and my heart can take it no longer killing more of my babies.
Many just dropped dead, many I had to cull as they where nothing but suffering, so devastating and heart breaking. I am down to 16 chickens from 51! In just 3 1/2 months.
I received collidial silver in the mail finally a few days ago that i have been adding in drinking water, some people claim collidial silver is great, but producers can't claim any health benefits on labels as there is no proof that silver actually has any purpose in the body.
Anyways, i read collidial silver has to come into contact with whatever it is trying to kill/heal, so i started yesterday with a diffuser in the coop, also adding a tonne of essential oils as i researched and many essential oils can have a benefit killing fungus/bacteria etc.
I did notice a bit less sneezing today, hopefully the chickens inhaling this mixture will help them, or possibly cure them.
Is there really no pneumonia treatment for chickens?
