What’s going on? I don’t know if it’s all related but I have to assume it is!
Several days ago I noticed one of my splash pullets making weird neck jerking motions here and there. I inspected her crop and it was soft, squishy and could feel fluid. I separated her and limited her food, gave ACV water and started a yeast infection cream treatment orally. She’s had 3 doses now and there’s been no change.
Yesterday I noticed a marans pullet sound gurgly in her throat and sneezed here and there. So I separated her gave garlic in water and herbs in feed for respiratory.
When I got home in the evening noticed one of my younger chicks in a different pen wasaying down and ill and a few minutes later she died in my arms. Her crop was guild filled and she leaked fluid from mouth before she died. I don’t know if that is illness or that happens when they die like emptying bowels (she did that too) and stomach is a automatic bodily response.
This morning I listened to hear if anyone sounded ill and my littlest 6 week old sounds gurgly in her throat, otherwise normal, so I’ve separated her. I’m running out of places to put them all!
Do you experts thing it is something respiratory even tho the original splash had no respiratory symptoms just crop? Or some virus that causes all of these things. I’m just not sure how to treat and going to a vet isn’t really an option so looking for thoughts. To make things worse, haha, I’m from Canada and can’t get antibiotics (only from a vet).
I’ll continue giving the splash thebueast cream but what to do with the others? ACV, herbs, garlic Etc? I don’t have Vetrx on hand either.
