Hatching
Three out of ten of my laying hens have crusted over eye(s) and some discharge from the nose area. This was just noticed, couldn't have had it for longer than 24 hours. I don't notice any other symptoms such as anything being swollen or differences in skin but I'm not real schooled on that stuff. It's been wet and rainy here. Yesterday was very windy and temps dropped quickly to freezing or slightly below. They were outside most of yesterday in these conditions. I've done some research and it looks like an infection abbreviated to "mg" could be the problem. Idk wtd with them. We got three new adult laying hens about two weeks ago. They are fine as well as 4 other original residents...
