HELP ME PLEASE *EMERGENCY*

[SomeRandomGuy]

Alright so about a week ago one of my girls passed. Before she died she was very slow and her comb was cold and purple. When we found her in the morning she had a discharge from her nose and eyes. Now some of my other girls are having there combs turn purple but are very active.The oddest thing was when I picked one of them up after I gave them water and a LOT of drool came out of her mouth. She ran off and made a few squeaky noises but they do that a lot so I dont think thats related to the drool and purple comb. Please, If you know anything about this or had anything similar happen please tell me what you did. I cant loose my girls. PLEASE HELP!!

It sounds like you have a respiratory disease in your flock. You might want to treat them with some antibiotics such as Tylan 50 or Duramycin-10. Here is some information of diseases and symptoms: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044
