Bruwen chicks
Chirping
I have a 2 yr old hen which is some type of RIR, Gamebird cross that i bought at a small animal auction as a very young chick. She had a bout with fowl pox when she was about 5 wks old and lost part of her beak but has always remained strong and ate well and laid plenty of eggs. She roosts at night in 1 of 2 chicken houses which are made of wood and chicken wire with a latched door. She is 1 of 20 hens at this time. The bugs, mosquitos and spiders have been horrendous at our farm in North Florida !! .....I just returned home 2 days ago from Georgia where our family is devastated by hurricane Michael and was gone for 6 days and noticed that she looked smaller in size and had a strange shape to her wings...when i picked her up it was hard not to cry....she is covered with large red blister-like lesions all over her! both wings are swollen and tight, one is on her neck, several on her torso and around her vent.....I am a retired nurse and tried to start some treatment asap with what i had on hand...i started with tepid bath with water & betadine sol. which she didn't fight and seemed to calm her some, then i gave her 1/2cc of Tylan 50 SQ, isolated her with fresh bedding and a heat lamp. i also used poultry wound spray all over her and spot applied hydrocortisone cream and gave her a drop of bantamine paste orally.....My hens have been molting for the past 2 wks..she is currently growing new feathers...Has any ever seen this before? I sincerely appreciate any help,
Thank you in advance and God Bless
