My only full grown chicken (6 month old cochin silkie) has had a clear discharge coming out of his nostrils for a month now and it just got really bad this afternoon.
Here are all of the symptoms:
wing droop
clear discharge from nostrils (eventually gets crusty)
little to no poop (he used to have REALLY big ones in the morning now they are the size of a dime and they have no shape at all)
sneezing/ head shaking ( my chicks are also getting the same symptoms and are progressively getting worse)
open beak breathing
Sometimes he cracks/wheezes when he breaths out of his mouth
Idk if its just normal chicken smell but he has been smelling pretty bad around his head. I dont know what other chickens smell like.
I tried bread soaked in duramycin 10 for 3 days and didnt see any improvement so i stopped. I have a feeling his sickeness is caused by the wild sparrows around our house. We dont own any other chickens except for the chicks we got 4 week ago through the mail and we dont have any other chickens around our home for a 3 mile radius.
PLEASE HELP ME DIAGNOSE AND TREAT HIM!! This is the first time i've seen him really bad and im very worried. If you need any more information, pictures/ videos i will get them for you just please help me
