I have been introducing new chickens into the flock. One fell sick and stopped
walking about a month ago. I took it to a vet and he said, it will never walk again.
He offered to put it down. I said, it is not suffering so, I put it out on the lawn
in a cage everyday so it can live out it's last days. It flops around and eats and
drinks from the feeders. Now I have noticed that other birds are starting to slow
down and they have runny noses and their eyes are watering and sometimes
one eye will close completely because, of dried fluid. I have givin the sick ones
a shot of penecillin however, it doesn't seem to be helping. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
