Crazy Chicken Lady381
In the Brooder
hi everyone.
I have a 4 week old chick who is living outside during the sunny days and he has caught a cold of some form. He has a runny nose and the discharge hardens so he can't breathe through his nose about twice a day. As a result he is bobbing his head up and down to try and gasp for air. I am cleaning away the discharge from his nose but it seems to not have an effect and he is still breathing through his mouth. He is very lethargic and smaller than the rest of his siblings all of which are the same age. He seems to be eating and drinking fine. I have put ACV in his water in an attempt to help him but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
Any help in getting him to recover would be amazing as this tiny chick is starting to infect the rest of his siblings. but the fully grown chickens aren't affected.
