Chickens have a cold

[Rgjones78]

Some of my chickens have foamy eyes or bubbles start in them. Then they get gooey, and mat shut. If my babies get it, they die within a couple of days. I have been taking sick ones out of coop and putting them in the "sick pen" to keep away from the others. My first chicken I had got this first around February 20th. I have been putting duramycin 10 in there water. But I don't know what else to do. I can't get rid of it. Need help.
I have 4 colors of wyandottes, americaunas,and buff brahmas .

It is likely virus based, not bacteria so an anti-biotic is not indicated.

While some folks treat such things, the standard wisdom is to cull, and quickly to minimize spreading. The birds are often carriers of the virus, even should they appear to become symptom free which is different than being well.

Every year or so I will get one or two birds that get a cold. Usually, it passes over and everybody is fine.

I have been reading up and believe that my chicks have coryza. Swollen, runny eyes, runny nose and I noticed my sick pen does stink. I am wondering do I need to cull all birds and start over or just ones that have been sick?

If you notice I spreading and making healthy chickens feel sick then I would consider culling.

I keep reading everywhere that chickens don't get colds. What is your opinion on this???
