Hatching
Hi, this is my first time posting and I am a novice chicken owner. Back on July first I had a hen go broody. I moved her and her eggs to a private coop. After 25 days the eggs had hatched and she had broken several. I purchased some chicks hoping that she would adopt them. She rejected them so I have raised them separately. Shortly after getting the chicks I noticed her ‘sneezing’ and not really clucking. About a week later she was wheezing. I always keep a little organic apple cider vinegar in all my chickens water, but gave her a mixture of vinegar and honey a few times. This seemed to help for a day or 2....but her symptoms never went away. I then got a prescription for Baytril. I gave her 22.7 mg each night. After 10+ days she is still sneezing and wheezing. I do not see evidence of any worms, but dosed her with .4ml of Valbazen tonight. I am at a loss and don’t know what else to do for her. She has been isolated in a private coop and only stopped laying for about a week. She started laying again after the Baytril. We don’t eat her eggs. None of the chicks, or my other chickens are showing any symptoms. Any advice is welcome!
