It dropped to 98 a couple times but has been at 99 most of the time.
hope so
Thank you greatly for your very detailed response. I appreciate every bit of help and knowledge I can obtain. So today when I checked in on her,she had slightly opened her eye and there was no puss. Thank you Lord. Just a little bit of clear liquid. It's still very swollen and hot around the eye area. Her nose has a bit of clear discharge as well. I went to my feed store and purchased Terramycin ointment. They did not have an injectable antibiotic specifically for poultry. But I did get,just in case,a vile of penicillin. (Injectable) However,idk if it's safe to administer,what dosage and if it's even necessary. Any idea? I still need to give her an antibiotic right? To fight the internal infection in her sinuses. Ok so again,will the penicillin work? I have another feed store close. In fact,I'll be by it tomorrow. She did very well today. They also didn't have a salt solution for rinsing of the eye. So I made up a lukewarm water plus salt mix. I gently rinsed out her eye using a plastic syringe. Then,I applied a thin strip of the ointment and gently massaged in and also a dab around the outer part of her eye area. She did so good. I could tell that after she realized I wasn't trying to murder her,she appreciated my concern and help. Oh I love her. Ok so go ahead and add the soluble antibiotic to the entire flocks water or just her babies? They've all been within the same roosting area. But her chicks nestle with her the closest. Thank you again for your caring heart.Hope this hatch does a whole lot better for you! Good Luck!Those are the awesome black chickens! I love those! So, I'm restarting setting 10 shipped Serama eggs because the others just didn't develop other than the twoAND I candled my Ayam Cemani eggs and 11 eggs of the 15 look like this(pic)!!! Whoohoo!!!
Wilson has a sinus infection. Wild birds shed the germs when the visit the feeders and waters shared by the chickens. Can't say for sure that birds that survive become carriers. I usually have one or two cases a year, but I have over 50 adult chickens and often 100 juveniles each year. The watery eye and nasal discharge are the first symptoms, then the pus closes the eye and accumulates under the lids. A chicken actually has two sets of eyelids. So it is difficult to get the gunk out. It can attach to the eye and cause blindness in the eye. A chicken cannot blow it's nose. It is contagious. Both by sneezing and scratching the eye and then by sleeping with the head under her wing, she can shed the germs to those who sleep near her. Breathing will become labored and the sinus will swell around the eye and inside the mouth similar to tonsils in humans. I have also learned how to surgically open the bulging sinus under the eye and clean out the accumulation. Saline and Neosporin helps. When I find a bird that is beginning to show symptoms, I isolate the bird and begin giving FishBiotics Cephalexin. If the bird can swallow, I give the gelcap after dipping it in water to make it slippery and massage the throat to get the pil into the crop. If not, then I open the gelcap, mix the dry powder in a little water and use a syringe without a needle to drip the mixture in the birds mouth. The pills are 250 mg. A Bantam gets one pill a day, while a large bird like an Australorp can take two...in separate doses. It usually takes 3 to 5 days of doses to help get the bird over it. Make sure the bird has plenty of water and food...I give medicated broiler starter with some cracked corn. You may actually need to give her water thru the syringe and make little soft pellets of feed and feed her by hand. When the bird is improving, I offer a little yogurt to help improve the gut. In the meantime, you will definitely want to treat the rest of Wilson's flock mates. Wazine in the water is helpful. I prefer Denagard or Gallimycin. Also, Oxytetracycline can be offered as an alternative. Years ago I actually had a Cochin rooster who had surgery to remove the hardened cottage cheese accumulation. Popeye lost his sight in the eye, but lived a productive life.

Here is my chick who doesn't have a name yet 1 of 3 eggs set in the brinsea she hatched on 8/31.
I found my duck egg pipped in the brinsea dried out. I think I will leave that one to just chick eggs.
My farm innovators has 21 eggs on Thursday will candle them and take the turner out as we will go into lock down.
In the little giant we set 12 duck eggs 2 moved to brinsea for lock down 10 were clear or didn't make it to the lock down stage.
Second turn we set 15 duck eggs in the little giant so far 4 have exploded
Today we set 7 chick eggs in the brinsea. I know, I'm crazy. Lol
Oh so do you think the Denegard is stronger than the Oxytetracycline? Hmmmmm how long would it take to get here. I'm old fashioned....I don't use CC's. I do have an emergency loadable card though. For things like this. I know right? I don't do bank accounts either! I don't use any social media like FB...this is the socialist thing I do involving the internet.:
