Chickens eyes won't open.

[Mindy Decker]

I have a couple Rhode Island reds this morning that would not come out of the coop. One of them will not open her eyes at all and the other will just peek half way. We just got 4 new chickens on Saturday (Rex Rangers) that seem very healthy, but I'm hoping they didn't bring bad stuff into my coop. Yesterday I noticed on one of my chickens I've had for a few months (Wyandotte) that she had spots on her. I do not know what going on in my yard, but it is a little alarming.

Unfortunately, the first 2 pictures look like a possible respiratory disease, especially the second with the watery swlooen eye and the nasal secretions. The third looks like there is some pecking wounds or injury. When adding new flock members, it is always a good idea to quarantine new birds for a month, to watch for any symptoms of disease. Some may be carriers without any symptoms, but can still spread a disease from another flock. The common respiratory diseases are mycoplasma gallisepticum or MG, infectious bronchitis, ILT, and coryza. You can read about those disease symptoms here:

Antibiotics such as Tylosin for pigeons available online or some others, may be helpful in bacterial diseases MG and coryza, but viruses will not be helped.

Thank you so much for taking your time to give me all of this information! They are looking much better! We have given probiotics, fulvic and tons of prayer. It has gone through most of them, but they are all recovering!!!
