Not sure if anyone can help, I purchased 2 pullets about 3 weeks ago, they are 20 weeks old now. One was making a hiccuping noise, went to the vet, who prescribed Baytril for 5 days, plus antinflamatory injection. Vet thinks that she has had a previous respiratory infection, which has left inflammation. She is still the same , however only when she is distressed, I have started to integrate them both during the day, but separately at night, but my other 2 are stressing her with the odd peck, has anyone else had this problem, I have added oregano oil to their water
 
When she is sneezing (sounds like a hiccup) especially when she is distressed that is a sign for mycoplasmosis. The vet prescriped antibiotics but that only takes away the symtoms. The mycoplasma stays and will pop up again more or likely. Of course I am not a vet! But it sounds like it to me.

Is it not curable
 
No, I am sorry. But they can live with it most of the time. Unless the symptoms become extreme. A lot of the chickens carry the mycoplasmosis virus but never show signs.
