I have a 3 month old easter egger and I noticed yesterday she seemed a little slower than the others. This morning she was distancing herself and closing her eyes some, as well as coughing mucus and you can her hear kind of crackle when she breaths.
She is not struggling to breathe or gasping.
I have her distanced from the flock in a protected crate so she can still seem them
I’m not sure if someone pecked her and its a coincidence I saw blood on her beak and cheeks but I doubt that because she coughed on my hand and the mucus was very light brown
I’m not sure if this is Ilt?
I’ve had chickens with respiratory problems before but never like this.
Suggested treatment?
Thankyou in advance
