We have two chooks which started laying regularly. To make it more of a flock we bought another hen of the samilar age...but didn't quarentine her (learning curve here)
It turned out we bought a sick chicken which quickly infected the other two. They have been on antibiotics and have stopped gurgling and their eyes are bright and seem to be healthy. They still are not laying properly(one not at all). They often have leathery egg shells or are sometimes rough textured. The new hen continues to have very runny clear poop. She drinks far more than the others. They have one day left to eat their deworming powder. Can the deworming have anything to do with this or have a got damaged chickens?
From what I've read it sounds like they have got Infectious bronchitis which doesn't bode well. I've included an image of the poop. Thanks
