Thanks so much! This is all very helpful. Some more info:
-She has been sneezing and sounds croupy, and also has nasal discharge. One of her pen mates is currently in quarantine with a bad URI— swollen eyes, sounds awful, stopped up nose, etc.
-We got her about a month and a half ago, when the seasons were changing; she hasn’t laid for us, but the breeder said he believed she had started laying already. None of my slackers are currently laying, though, so it’s hard to know if she isn’t because of the weather or because of her age.
-She’s being given 1/2ml of Tylan once daily.
-The grower feed is fresh, so I’ll give her some of that along with some canned fish and corn.
-We have an awful problem with coccidiosis here, despite a clean coop and cared for chickens; I’ve lost three babies this year to it and pulled another two back from the brink. My local chicken keeping community seems to have similar problems, so I suspect it’s just our region/weather. Right after we got her, she began to fluff and get lethargic, so I treated her with corid. She’s appeared fine as far as the coccidiosis symptoms go for about three weeks.
-She also has a messy vent, and, weirdly enough, seems to have some sticky areas under her wings. Those areas didn’t look like notes or pests to me— I didn’t see the eggs around the feather roots— but I’m going to go take another look shortly. We typically don’t have big problems with mites this time of year (or ever, honestly), so it would be odd.
