Thoughts?
For bird with chronic respiratory issue (intermittent 'wheezing' [for lack of better description - makes funny sound] and open mouth breathing, not experienced by any of the other birds - they are super healthy). Unresponsive to antibiotics (Tylan etc), so likely viral or allergy or who knows what.
Long term chronic condition, tougher on her in recent months. Hen otherwise looks wonderful, eats fine, feathers gorgeous and shiny healthy..... Sleeps fine with no open mouth breathing then. Usually only after exertion. Not a spring chicken. 8 years of age.
Best natural antivirals foods or supplements?
Immune boosting also.
Thanks for any insights! This is for a friend who is a superb chicken guardian.
