We have 2 chickens, one 18 week Cuckoo Maran and one adult BO. Both have that "perculator" sound of breathing. The Cuckoo is what I call "mouth breathing" opening her mouth wide with each breath. We started her on Sulmat in their water and I mixed some Teramycin with gatorade and have given her about 4 ounces of that in a bottle, dropping liquid in her mouth. she is drinking it without problems. Not eating. Droppings are runny white. Just noticed her coughing a few days ago and then today she started this funny breathing. The BO started breathing wierd yesterday, gave her the same abx but she was NOT mouth breathing, she was also coughing. We have several more in our flock who are coughing with no other symptoms at this time. We also have two 18 weekers who have that sinus infection...coryza? Looked it up online and their eyes look just like that with the swelling, but eating and drinking. Gosh, sounds like we have something running through the flock and I'm scared. This coughing thing has been going on for a week now.
We have put the Sulmat in everyones water. HELP please. What abx do we need????
