Clear watery eyes and nasal discharge

[RebeccaW89]

I have a hen that is 2 years old. Where I live, the weather is up and down. A couple weeks ago our day temps were in the 40s and night temps were 19. This past week, daytime was 75 night time was 65. Today (12-19-2024) is 51 with lows going to be 37 and just keep dropping until Christmas. Christmas will be 80 again ( thanks Louisiana). Anywho, this hen started having frothy eyes, rattle in chest and clear nasal discharge. I separated her and treated with a round of Enroflaxin for 5 days. During the warm temps, she was fine. No watery eyes or nasal discharge. Got up this morning temps were 45 and well no shock her eyes are back to watering. No bubbles this time and no rattle. Just water. she is healthy other than that. Singing and feisty. She hasn't laid (none of the 10 hens have) in almost a month. Once again thanks to the time of the year lol. Could this be allergies or something else? We are about to leave in vacation and I was hoping to put her back with her flock. What should I do?. Posted a pic of her. Could y'all also help with breed? Store has her labeled as Blue Laced Wyandotte but her comb says different

As long as she seems fine, I'd put her with her flock as chickens do better usually that way, too.

I would pump them all up with some vitamins/minerals in their water, like Poultry Cell or something for the days prior to you leaving.

We have Rooster Booster granules and mix a half of what they say in with their crumbles and have had that for life, so these stay very healthy.

Right now all I have is Quick Chick and they didn't seem to like that.

Were you treating with the enrofloxacin in her water, or giving it directly to her? I have heard that it tastes bad, and they may not drink enough of the water. Dosage is 10 mg for every 2.2 pounds of weight given orally twice a day for 5 days. Do you have the 10% liquid or the 10 mg tablets? It could be MG, but testing is the only way to confirm what it is.

This was the injectable from the vet. She cleared up until the cold hit again
