Chicken is active/alert but was exhibiting wheezing, hoarse voice, labored breathing, and infrequent sneezing today only. Veterinarian said her lungs sound congested and think she has an infection but we caught it early so she should be okay. They gave her an antibiotic injection with a follow up injection in 1 week. Not really any symptoms since we left, but vet recommended isolating her for 2 weeks.
Wouldn’t all the birds have already been exposed to anything she has? My flock is 4 chickens, but acts more like 2 groups of 2. My concern is that she and her flock mate will suffer more from the isolation than they will benefit from it. Is it necessary for me to isolate the one hen?
