Coughing

[Crazychickenlady_]

Good morning everyone!
Recently i have noticed that my chickens have started coughing they use to only sneeze we treated with some medicine but i guess it didn't help at all since fast forward to now they are coughing!! One of my roosters sounds to have alot of flem in his chest when i picked him up.
This is our first flock so we aren't familiar with what all to give in this case...
i need help to get them back and healthy

Hi, what medicine did you give them?

I'd check around their area too, as sometimes if something got moldy or dusty, that can cause sneezing and coughing.

You could give them a vitamin boost by putting Poultry Cell in their water for a couple of days.

Sometimes chickens get sneezes or coughing and in a few days they get over it themselves. When it lasts more than a few days and seems like it's not getting better, they should get an antibiotic. I had gotten amoxicillin once (Fishmox) back when Chewy could sell it, and it worked on one hen I had that wasn't shaking whatever she caught.

Here's one place to get an antibiotic: https://jedds.com/products/tylosin-powder

Here's another: Twin City Poultry https://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/

I hope they get over this! Be sure to let us know.

We tried VetRx but after doing some research alot of people don't recommend
