I got some Oxine ordered and have VetRX on hand. Neither hen seem too keen to eat/drink but I’ll push some fluids later today.

I would mix some Poultry Nutri-drench into their drinking water to boost their immune systems. A strong immune system can conquer many heath issues.

A bleach solution should be sprayed on all surface to eliminate the mould. Dehumidifier and fans will lower the moisture content.

@azygous I put some electrolytes, oregano, garlic, as well as poly vi sol in their water just now.
@Northern.Ontario I used a Vinegar wash in the coop as they were going to be right back in there. There wasn’t mold (it was poop and wet wood) so I didn’t Use Bleach.

I live about 20 miles west of you and we only got 2” of rain. What a crazy night, but glad you all are ok. I don’t have any oxine, but I do have a lot of other stuff and a great vet, too, who might be able to help you get what you need. If I can be of any help, please let me know!!! Steph

Thanks. @azygous but with the holiday I wouldn’t get it until next week at the earliest. Is there any place that may have it in stock that I could go and pick it up?

Try contacting a local vet. If they don't have it, they may know where to get it locally. It's worth a try.

@Wyorp Rock thanks! It’s still a work in process in the basement drying out but the coop is fully emptied and has had a fan blowing in there since yesterday mid morning. It’s dry now for the most part. The photos are from yesterday after clean out but have since dried. It really could have been a lot worse on all accounts so we feel very blesssed.

I’m working on getting a video uploaded. I’m sick myself (going on week 2) so I’m struggling to get my mind working how I need.

What a mess that must have been! I've been the wet basement route - and that's definitely not fun, even when you're healthy. We went through a great deal of kitty litter when our french drains overflowed. If you haven't tried that, yet, I recommend it. Don't use the clumping stuff, though. We learned (the hard way) just how difficult that stuff can be to get out in large blocks! The cheap, regular litter soaked up a lot of moisture and was easy to sweep up, afterwards.
Good luck with your clean-up, and I sure hope you all feel better very quickly.
