DONT KNOW IF THIS IS SERIOUS OR NOT

[earlybird69]

i have a grow out pen with teenage chickens in it, there is several different breeds in there. the other day i noticed a sebright is sneezing and a duccle has one eye closed up and a third bantam is looking all frumpy and has eyes closed. they all are still going about like everything is ok. from what i have looked up it maybe serious, does anyone have any ideas what this could be. i am about an hour away from Texas A&M and i would like to take them some samples to test but i have never done that before and i can seem to find the right number to call them, can anyone help?

It sounds like one of the respiratory diseases such as IB, MG, ILT, or coryza. You may need to get culture tubes from your vet, or have the samples taken by your vet. Here is a link on diseases and one of the links below should help for testing or the state vet: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044
