I'm caring for some chooks while the owner/farmer is away. He's leaving all treatment up to me as he knows less about chickens than i do!!
We did notice the swelling just before he went. He left some powered antibiotics out for me, that the vet gave him when another bird had badly injured wing but we funny know if it's the right meds... its a sulpa type.. Im supposed to mix 1/3 teaspoon with tuna, boiled egg etc. So we doing that plus sprayed eye with eye antibiotics.
Symptoms are the swollen bit near eye, slight
nostril discharge near same eye and the chicken has a bad smell. Other eye is normal. No cough, sneezing or weird breathing.
She is happy, eating and drinking all fine.
It's in its own cage.
From Mr Google I'm wondering if respiratory? Coryza?
Anything else I could/should do? Thoughts on illness?
I tried to squeeze lump to see if puss would move but to no avail. Please and thank you.
