Please help, my chickens seem to be all getting sick

I don't know if you checked into the Oxine info, but I'd suggest it. It KILLS viruses and is going to be something I have on hand from now on. You can even use it in the house when the family is sick.

Have you tried Vet RX? It's an old remedy similar to that Vicks human stuff. My chicken had this issue a couple days ago, and I started rubbing vet rx on her comb and wattles and dropping some in her mouth. I also dripped it diluted down her nostrils. The instructions explain all this stuff. Anyway, now she seems fine & eats and makes her normal chicken sounds. I highly recommend Vet Rx!

As others said, you may want to quarantine her- one of my other chickens now has this same issue with rattly breathing and all that. I guess it's pretty contagious. It may be better to just let it run its course through the whole flock. I'm not sure.

Good luck with your hen.
