Your welcome, and bantams are sweeties. I have two bantam roosters, one is blue-gray and one looks almost exactly like yours. The blue one is quite mean but the other is just plain nice.

I have a sick broody hen. I have been feeding her plain yogurt- no sugar, no fruit -with some crumble mixed in, and she is starting to get better. I'm not really sure how to treat chickens with colds.... But you could try the yogurt mix and maybe add some vitamin powder to their water.

First of all, start a new thread if you don't get much response on this one. Flag it with a title that is eyecatching.
Chickens don't really get colds but they do get respiratory conditions that often times can be treated with antibiotics. Easiest thing for you to start of with is to isolate the sick ones, and go to the feed store and get some injectable Tylan. Ask them how to use it. The more symptoms you can list out on here, the better.

For the babies, start them on Duramycin, 4 tsp water soluble powder per gallon of water. You can get Duramycin at the feed store too. We need more symptoms please.

They eat and everything so tylan would help?

Well can you list out the symptoms and what kind of chickens they are, what they're eating, how old, that type of thing? Can;t tell really from what you've said so far.

yes i have had the heat lamp on it didnt really snow this last winter just rainy chilly and a few flurrys but it got kinda warm out so once in a great while i would turn it off. i dont know if he has been sick but he shivers even if its warm out, he gets cracked corn with wheat and these red balls all mixed together he eats it, he gets out and scavanges alot. i was thinking of four possibilities 1.) a spider bite, 2.) a nervous habit because he sleeps with his head in his wings maybe a nightmare or 3.) a tumor, and maybe 4.) a old wound that never healed. his poop is green with a white cap (normal) and sometimes carmel coloring he has had for a long time.he sneezes every once in a while and i believe when he was a baby he had a upper respitory infection, no lameness or discharge, and he doesnt peck at it. the first picture is of the festering issue at hand it is close to his oil gland and is on his left hind quarter and the second picture is of him showing how small he is. thank you for your help.

Hi there, I found this exact same sore on my chicken today. It's above her vent Under her tail My hen has been sick for a few weeks now and is ina carry cage. I thought it may have been a sore from her not getting around. Did you find out what it was??
