Hello again. I have a 8 month old hen Gabby who is not feeling well. She started sneezing & coughing (flemmy sounding) about a month & an half ago. Rattling when breathing. She was also gaping but not currently. She started losing a lot feathers on her belly (pretty bare under there) a couple days ago after Ivermectin pour on treatment 3 drops on back of her neck). She has been pretty quiet when usually a very talkative girl & lays around more perched in her favorite spots over the past 3 days. I have seen her drinking & eating but not sure how much. She has not yet ever laid an egg that I have caught on camera.
I have tried the following things spaced out with no success for the coughing/rattle breathing:
1) Tylosin in everyone’s water for starting Oct 31st because of Gabby’s breathing issue.
2) Lincomycin/septomycin in everyone’s water for 7 days. Finished Nov 23. This was suggested by my non aviary vet because of a different chicken’s problem. Gabby did seem to get better while on this now today she started coughing & rattling again.
3) Ivermectin pour on on everyone for external & internal parasites on Nov 23
4) currently only giving rooster booster vitamin, electrolyte, probiotic in the water.
I can’t figure out what’s wrong with her & what else to try.
Please lmk any other ideas to try.
I have a video of her breathing & coughing but I can’t get it to show up on this post.
P.s. I have been unable to keep her content on while separated from the flock. She goes crazy inside the house in the wire dog kennel I set her up in so I have her out in their minimally heated coop/run with the other 14.
