Back again. Sorry to start a similar thread to my last but i'm reading a fair bit of conflicting advice on what to do about respiratory infections. We've had these hens for just 3 weeks and it seems to have spread through our flock of four. The blue haze spend a day shortly after bringing her home, very lethargic and not eating. The following day, she picked up but developed this cough. Next was the Columbian blacktail. They're all very lively now and eating well, but the coughing persists (mainly just in the 2 I mentioned) with the odd gape. I've heard advice from culling (which im really not going to do unless they really take a turn for the worst and I have no option) to leaving them to get over it. There's no visible mucus or eye bubbles so i'm not yet convinced on antibiotics. They're all laying apart from the Columbian, that's slowed down the last few days. Is there anyway to upload video? Doesn't seem to like mp4
