Sick chicken :/

[Krobinson]

Hello all, I am new to this website as well as raising chickens. Recently we got a chicken from a friend (about a month ago) and she seems to be the only one sick in my coop. I previously had cedar shavings in the coop that I switched to pine due to advice from tractor supply. My chicken has looked sick like this for about a week and just today she seems to have a gurgling breath sound (like Ronchi in humans). She has not been able to open her eyes and when I wipe it with a wet cloth yellow boogers come out.
I think she may have pneumonia but I’m not sure. Help!

Does she have a bad odor or does it seem normal like most chickens? The rhonchi (wheezes) and the eye drainage may be signs of a chronic respiratory disease, such as mycoplasma (MG) or if she has a bad odor, it could be coryza. Tylosin can be given to treat coryza 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. If she has coryza, sulfa antibiotics would be recommended. It might be best to separate her away from the others while she is being treated.

She did have an odor to her but I thought it was just because I haven’t given her an epsom salt soak (I thought she was egg bound in the beginning). But the wheezing and eye drainage continued to get worse until the other day when she had a seizure like activity and died :/ She wasn’t eating so when I went to go water her it looked like she was up all night searching for me. I think she used up the last bit of energy doing that unfortunately. Thank you for the advice for my future care of my chickens!

Sorry that you lost her. I would disinfect all equipment and the area she was in. Coryza incubation time can be as little as 2-3 days, so watch your other chickens for symptoms. I would separate any with symptoms, and treat with sulfa antibiotics. If you lose another and get a necropsy by your state vet, you can get a diagnosis.,
