Ok so since my neighbors chickens have ventured over and mingled with my flock before I noticed we’ve had a slew of issues pop up!
a Few hens started sneezing and then several others did as well as well as random ones getting runny noses. Rooster sounds like he’s got wheezy/rattly breathing as well as runny nose and the occasional sneeze. ** vet said treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic but that was all. Not a vet that will see chickens. So I got amoxy-tyl and have had them on this. Today was the 7th and final day.** a few still randomly have runny noses but no one is c
Two days ago one hen developed a swollen sinus under the eye. Been using terramycin ointment on it. Today it looks a bit better but now the other eye is swollen. Same way. Will start the ointment there as well. She still eats and drinks just fine it seems but her eye is swollen and I see her sleeping often. Just stands still in the run and ticks her head back and sleeps. Wakes up a bit later and eats and drinks and runs for a moment or two. Then back to sleep. She also has had a runny nose And her comb is a little pale.
About 5 days ago one hen had one little black spot on her comb, now it’s gone but the three oldest hens and the rooster have plenty of black spots on combs and Wattles. I know this to be fowl pox and am using an iodine solution on them. A few spots on the combs are a paler color but not sure if this is normal for fowl pox. The 5 younger ones don’t have anything wrong with their combs.
also I have one hen who came into the flock about 5 weeks ago. Was quarantined for two weeks with no issues. Doesn’t seem to have any issues and still does not have any of the issues the others are having however she’s always been missing these same feathers under her wings ( on her back) since before we got her. She’s about 12-13 weeks old.
please someone help me figure out how to handle my flock! Not more than a month ago they were all super healthy and doing great!
