I have an 18 month buff orp hen that is wheezing and has nasal discharge. This came about after a recent hawk attack during which we lost one of our birds. Since the incident all the other hens refused to (first) leave the run and (now) leave the roost box. I have to chase them into the covered yard during the day but they run right back into the box as soon as I turn my back. They are used to being free range. I fear being cooped is making them ill. My question is:
1 - Should I isolate the sick bird?
2 - tetracycline or tylan as well as probiotics have been recommended. Thoughts?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aleisha
