Hi there,
Two of my standard-sized chickens have mucous in their mouths and are coughing for the past week, but they are both still laying eggs daily and acting normal otherwise, although eating a bit less food than usual. Their coop has plenty of ventilation.
So far I have given each a pea sized dose of Vetericyn in case it’s gape worm but after a couple days there has been no change.
I put VetRx on their throats, nostrils and under wings to help with the symptoms.
Today I got some Denegard — which I’m told can treat several bacterial related respiratory issues? (Research has given me mixed information on the effectiveness of this treatment, so any info would be helpful)
Is there anything else I should get or try? Do you think it’s viral or bacterial?
Any help would be much appreciated. I’ve never experienced this in my flock before.
