So I have a 5 month old Silkie pullet. She's been sneezing, it started probably 5 days ago. Then the runny 'nose' started and for the last 3 days, every morning, I find her with her right eye crusted shut.
I separated her from the rest of the flock. She is in a warm, dry room by herself. I have been giving her VetRX since I heard the sneezes. I also add Aureomycin to her feed. So far, everytime I have had a sneezing chicken, Aureomycin has done the trick but I haven't seen much of a difference in this hen yet..
The eye that is crusted shut in the morning; I clean it up gently with warm water to soften the crust so she can open her eye. She seems to do well during the day but towards the evening, I see little bubbles come out of her eye and that's when it starts getting crusty again.
Other than that, she looks alert and happy. She's eating good and puts up a big fuss when I clean her eye and give her the VetRX.
Today, I bought a vitamin & electrolyte powder to add to her water. I don't know if that will help but it can't hurt, right?
Any idea on what might be going on with this pullet and what else can I do to help her?
