Runny nose and head tucked in

[Angel25119]

I have a 5 week old chick who was been walking around with his head tucked in the last few days (looks like he has no neck) I noticed today he also has a runny nose. He is eating and drinking. What should I do?

Separate her! Keep a close eye on her for additional symptoms. Is she shaking her head? Breathing labored? She may have a respiratory virus. If so, you need to act fast and treat all of them right away.

How would one treat a respiratory virus? As far as I know, viruses must run their course and you can only treat for bacterial or fungal infections. Hope I’m wrong!

Tylan 50 or Oxytetracycline HCI Soluble Powdee (broad Spectrum Antibiotic)

They hide there illness so well until it's really life threatening. I learned the hard way. I lost 3 full grown healthy hens to respiratory year before last

I treates with Oxytetracycline and it saved the rest. If one has it they all need to be treated.

Thanks everyone. No labored breathing. I have separated her at this time. No one else seems sick. She is still the same.

I'm sorry you lost some birds. I would be devastated. I have never had any issues like this before.
