Help! What is wrong with my hen or hens?

[Farmgirl283420]

you might know Belle as my silkie who hates her sister so at the moment lives in a kennel at night and a playpen during the day. Today was raining so I let her out while I cleaned her kennel then went to get her. Her eyes were all foamy. My other chickens have been sneezing a lot but I haven’t really noticed anything else. What is this and what should I do to treat them?

I took these pictures after most of the foam had gone away. She still seems healthy besides that.

Those symptoms are typical of a respiratory infection. Many of these will resolve on their own, but if the symptoms worsen and the chickens become lethargic, an antibiotic may be necessary to combat a bacterial component of the infection. It's obtainable without a prescription here. https://jedds.com/products/doxy-tyl?_pos=1&_sid=ad42fc747&_ss=r

Thank you so much!

Belle seems to have trouble breathing anything I can do? She’s still alert and eating but I’m starting to get worried!

How do I give the medicine? Should I give it to all my chickens and not just Belle? @azygous @fluffycrow

How much of the flock are showing symptoms? If it's only one chicken, separate her and treat only her. If it's half the flock or more showing symptoms, treat the entire flock.

She is the only one with bubbly eyes but it seems that the whole flock is sneezing

Then I would definitely treat the entire flock.
