Bantams showing respiratory illness HELP

[weirdones]

Hello we have 3 Duccle hens and a roo.
We hatched two of the hens and the roo at the end of May
The other hen, we just got from a friend 2 weeks ago.
She showed her with 4h so we didn't think we needed to quarantine but I guess maybe we should though she seems healthy.
However when I went out to feed the birds this morning and picked up the one hen and her eye seemed a bit crusty and not as open as the other, her breathing sounds kind of rattly. The roo also sounds rattly.
Their permanent coop is not finished yet so they have been living in a rabbit hutch that we only ever used for quail. None of our quail ever had anything like this.
I really love these birds and don't want to loose them.
They are the only chickens we currently have outside (we have 3 Cochin chicks indoors)
What can we do?
We are in Delaware and have a tractor supply close by.
So far they are eating and drinking well. I don't want that to change

Hi, I just lost a Silkie, 4 months old and I hatched her under my broody Hen. As soon as I realised I put her in the house away from the others and the cold. I used VetRx and condy's cyrstals or Potassium Permaganate in her water. I was too late and within 2 days she was gone, even with the care and scrumbled eggs. It was very sad.

Good luck, try what you can..

It sounds like the newest chicken may have been a carrier of one of the respiratory diseases, possibly MG, coryza, ILT, or infectious bronchitis. I would get some Tylan 50 (give it orally) from your feed store with syringes and 20 gauge 1/2 inch needles. Dosage for bantams would be 1/4 or 0.25 ml by mouth twice a day for 5 days to the ones showing symptoms. Or consult your vet for an antibiotic in the water. Make sure they drink well since sick birds usually do not. Offer a tsp of plain yogurt per bird daily mixed into some feed and egg to give some probiotics for gut health. I would urge you to close your flock to any new birds in the future, keep these birds until they die, and do not give any away to spread disease.
