Coryza

[ChickChic00]

I have responded on your other thread. Why do you think it is coryza? Several respiratory diseases can cause swelling of the eye including mycoplasma (MG,) coryza, or E.coli. E.coli is fecal bacteria that may be a secondary infection or if a peck wound or a foreign body has infected the eye. With sneezing, it sounds more like a respiratory disease. Do you have older birds who have had a respiratory illness in the past? If so did it smell bad, or does the chick now have a bad odor? That can be common with coryza.

Did the chick hatch from one of your eggs, eggs that you bought, or was the chick hatched somewhere else. That can be important, since MG can be transferred through hatching eggs as well as by a carrier bird who may not even have symptoms.

MG is best treated with Tylan, oxytetracycline, or Baytril (enrofloxacin.) Coryza is treated with sulfa antibiotics, such as Bactrim or Sulfadimethoxine. E.coli could be treated with sulfa antibiotics as well. Getting tested would identify the specific disease. Do you know if the scab is due to pecking or from fowl pox?

Only one chick rn. A couple other chicks are starting to sneeze. Got all hen and her 10 chicks and a different rooster from amish.
