Aw my pleasure, I feel the exact same way haha. I have needed this forum so many times and have always managed to find comfort or advice ^^ And eggcessive is wonderful I believe theyve helped me out of a few struggles many times. I remember when I had no clue when my first hen went broody, I was so worried haha.
I live in NSW on the central coast (but i want to move to north qld lol) and yes cyclone Debbie hit hard and we got the winds and rain all the way down here, its been crazy! The change in weather could definitely stressed them out and contribute greatly to her showing these symptoms. I do hope the antibiotics work for her and hope it is just MG. And yes no problem, the apple cider vinegar is great stuff. Here are some other herbs that I've heard are useful:
Rosemary: good for respiratory health, natural insecticide. Parsley: vitamin rich, source of protein. Lemon Balm: Antibacterial, rodent repellent. Mint: Natural insecticide, rodent repellent. Dill: Good for respiratory health, antioxident
Try this also, it may give you a little insight to keeping hens. https://www.backyardchickencoops.co...85cab51df8a1f8c2d70541d8079c32f4427abf559d899
I wanted to link you to another really good downloadable handbook but it wont let me so if you are interested, if you give me your email address I may be able to forward the email to you?
