I know this might sound odd but has anyone had breathing problems caused BY their chickens? I have developed a terrible cough that just wont go away even with antibiotics. The doctors say it is a virus but I wonder if it could be caused by something I am breathing in or something I am allergic to in the coop.
I have 5 hens all are about to start laying and we only have one who has matured enough to lay. I am the sole person who takes care of the chickens and I am always careful and wash after I leave the coop. They have the "garden coop" design only larger 6.5' x 14.5' with a dirt floor and the coop part itself is 6.5 wide by 4 feet deep.
Anyone have a similar experience?
