My 6 and a half week old chicken, pullet, is wheezing and sneezes/coughs. I went to the feed store and they gave me duramycin-10. I was hesistant to start it after what everyone online was saying...someone suggested i start with apple cider vinegar and so I did. However, there were no signs of improvements so today I gave the first dose of antibiotics. Does she just have a respiratory irritation? I know viruses cannot be treated with abx so I am hoping I did the right thing. She acts fine and eats&drinks as much as my other two pullets of the same age. I am just concerned for her and want her to get better sooner than later. I am new to the chicken world! These are my first chickens ever. Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
