Well it's a disease I dnt know how iys called on English but it consists in boogers in the nonose violent sneezing and the mouth has some kind of mucus on the walls they stop eating and will drink large amounts of water

Well they have slot of boogers sneeze alot and have watery eyes and mumucous on the throat and mouth inside as well and they won't eat only drink pure water,I give them grower and broiler pellets and corn,i bought some yellow pills at a peyshop that is the treatment
Can you tell us what the yellow pills are - do you have photo of those and the package they come in?
Can you post some photos of the chickens, the inside of their beak, their face, etc.?

It sounds like your chickens have a respiratory disease complicated by infection(?) or possibly canker - Mycoplasma, ILT, Infectious Coryza and Infectious Bronchitis are some of the more common ones that affect chickens. Which one they have is hard to know.
Look forward to your photos and more information.
 
Very sorry for your loss. With such serious respiratory symptoms, your chicken might have had a poor outcome no matterr what treatment or medicine that you gave. Those diseases are very contagious and can make all chickens who are exposed, carriers. Antibiotics may help some symptoms if the disease is caused by bacteria such as coryza or mycoplasma, but other diseases caused by a virus will not respond. If you are interested, here is a good link to read about common diseases and their symptoms:

Thank for you that.
I assume you mean Newcastle?
Antibiotics can help with secondary infection, but there is no real treatment for Newcastle since it's a virus.
It's highly contagious, so if you have any other birds that are symptomatic, you may want to separate them or even think about culling them. I'm sorry and don't mean to sound harsh. The disease can spread rapidly and affect your other birds.

You don't want to sell or give away any of your chickens since they will be carriers of the disease for life even if they recover.
It's really good of you to mention that chickens remain carriers for life. This is how we BYC members learn from each other. Sadly this time I learn something new at the expense of someone else's loss. Still, after that little pullet is gone, her experience is still helping others!
 
Someone on this site told me at first 4 weeks when I got them so starting today she is officially is 13 weeks old she was very sick but I bought meds and it worked for a week but she's sick again
