I posted about my sick rooster, but got no replies. Came home from picking up my granddaughter at school and checked on him and he was dead. Still not sure what happened to him. He suddenly couldn't walk, had foul smelling diarrhea, and was gasping for air.
Do you think it would be okay to dose the rest of the flock with a broad spectrum antibiotic, just in case? Can I also give them medicated feed at the same time? And I want to put some apple cider vinegar in the water too. Is there anything else I can do? (We have five "regular" chickens left, and six silkies, which are in a different pen. I don't want anything happening to my silkies. They're like our pets.)
