Hi everyone,
For about 2 weeks now my 2 chickens have had a cough and sneeze. One of them has a runny nose. Other than those symptoms they are acting completely normal. Laying eggs, eating, drinking... I've been doing so much research online that my head is spinning and I am confused! I don't want to bring them to the vet and spend all that money so I've been putting VetRx on their beaks and under their wings. I also purchased the antibiotic Duramycin but haven't given it them because I wasn't sure if it was necessary and I would rather not throw out their eggs for a few weeks. What would you do? Should I give them the antibiotic? Do you think they have that Chronic Respiratory Disease? I feel like if they had that they would be dead by now. Any help would be appreciated!!! I feel so bad for my little girls. Thank you!
