Hello,
Could someone share their thoughts on what might be happening to our chicken and possible treatments?
In addition to the below, we recently (2w ago ish) treated the flock with Valbazen (albendazol) for worms.
1) Rhode Island Red - 4lb
2) She has a croupy sneeze/cough every so often and sometimes you can hear a rattling noise when breathing. She's also recovering from Dry Fowl Pox. The spots are almost scabbed. She's acting normal otherwise. I was not able to observe sores inside her mouth, although it was very hard to see inside with her moving.
3) The dry fowl pox has been going for about 2/3 weeks and the sneezing for the last 24h.
4) No other birds with symptoms. The other 6 chickens are healthy.
5) No injuries
6) We do have some mosquitoes in Arizona and there are pigeons/wild birds around. Is my understanding that they can bring the Fowl Pox.
7) She has been eating, drinking, acting and laying as expected.
8) Normal poop. However, we noticed some moving larvae that seems to be tapeworm.
9) Added Mother Vinegar and Garlic to her water, iodine to the sores, and isolated her.
10 ) I would like to treat myself.
11) No picture are this moment.
12) We did a deep clean in the coop and run. Removed all bedding. Washed both coop and dirt run. Racked dirt. Applied mosquito repellent.
Thank you,
