if your chickens have the following symptoms:
Swollen Eyes
Bubbles in the corners of the eyes
Open mouth breathing
Pale face
Sneezing and coughing and gasping
Runny nose
Loss of appetite and not drinking water
Not laying eggs regularly as before
And the surefire last symptom that is a giveaway they have Infectious Coryza is a putrid smell coming from the nasal passages.
Once the chicken has this disease and is cured, that chicken never gets it again but they are still a carrier for life to give it to other chickens that have never had it.
if your flock is showing the following symptoms, they might have INFECTIOUS CORYZA (IC). can be treated with water solubles with solfonamide are beneficial. but better can be treated with antibiotics;the most helpful is tylan 50/200. any chickens that have these symptoms should be quarantined and culled for the prevention of outbreak. once a chicken has the disease, it will permanently be carriers and will infect unvaccinated new members of the flock if from infectious coryza. infection can last 4-12 weeks. cause is from bringing infected new chickens into your flock. this disease is one of the worst, and most common of the upper respiratory diseases.
if your chickens show the following symptoms:
coughing and rattling (most severe in young)
loss in egg production
misshapen eggs and soft shells
wet litter
diarrhea
huddling
diuresis
loss of appetite
the most defining symptom of this desease would be misshapen and soft shelled eggs, not to mention the loss in egg production. these are the symptoms of INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS (IB). in some cases the disease can resemble infectious coryza, which brings to a main problem with this disease, differentiating it from newcastle disease, mycoplasmosis, vaccinal reactions, avian influenza, and laryngotracheitis. Tentative diagnosis is based on clinical sgns, lesions and serology. Definitive diagnosis is based on viral isolation after 3-5 passages in chick embryo, HA negative, with typical lesions, flourescent antibody positive and ciliostasis in tracheal organ culture. there is no treatment for this disease, yet it can be prevented through vaccination.
