Went outside yesterday and one of my 22 week olds (not laying yet), was by herself, drooling from her beak, puffed up and very lethargic. She’s making a kind of gargling/heavy breathing sound and it’s like she keeps kinda sneezing. The drool from her beak was clear, thicker. She’s almost just standing on one leg and she’s kinda hanging her head. She’s barely eating or drinking.
She’s super puffed up.
Fast forward to the end of the day and she looks like this
She keeps coughing and making these weird almost gurgling sounds, and her eyes are watering. Tried to get some Nutridrench in her, but was only able to get a little. She looks so pitiful, just compared to the morning picture of her.
One of my chicks born in the middle of July is also doing it, except he seems even more lethargic and is standing there just closing his eyes. He has all the other symptoms my other girl does. And tonight when I was giving him some of the Nurtidrench, he pooped and it was a bit milky/ mucus and had a little bit of blood. I put Corid in their water today, just in case, but it doesn’t seem to be that, and he’s the only one I’ve seen with any blood in the poop.
Another girl is now puffed up and isn’t eating/drinking hardly and has the runny nose, and more are getting the runny noses, and starting to make the weird sounds/coughing as of tonight.
One little Roo from July, seems to not be able to open one eye because of it being junky.
This came on so fast Sunday night everyone was completely fine.
I’m afraid of what I’m going to come out to, in the morning.
Also we have at least two that were hatched last year, that we believe are molting. Never experienced it before, but I’m pretty sure they’ve been for the past week or so.
Like to add we have about 5 too many in their space, as we had a raccoon get into our other coop/area about two weeks ago, twice, and we had to move the lone survivor to the more secure place. And we also have 4 chicks born in July that are roos that will be gone, soon. We’re planning on making a bigger run this week.
It seems each one of them is going to get it, and I’m terrified of losing more of them. What could it be and what should I buy/do for them?
