Sick Hen/flock

[John The Mailman]

I came back vacation and noticed some hens gurgling, sneezing, sleeping more, and eating less
I couldn’t bring all the sick ones I brought in the one in the worst shape imo
she does have what looks like a pimple on her waddle. I’ve got her in a tub with fresh water(electrolytes and probiotics), feed , mash feed and a scambled egg. She won’t eat on her own I have to bring her out and set her in front of it to eat.
Any suggestions on how to get them feeling better? The hen in pics also squawks very frequently

Does she have anything in her mouth you can see? Unfortunately these symptoms fit lots of things but wet fowl pox can be easily ruled out if there isn’t cheesy looking stuff in their mouths

No cheesy stuff but some have thick saliva

Update this morning she’s completely laying on her side and when I walked by she flailed her legs and wings and went back to laying on her side, legs and wings out

Sounds like it could be an upper respiratory illness. There's also a possibility these chickens are suffering from heat sickness.

Treat the respiratory sympotms with this antibiotic. https://jedds.com/products/amoxy-tyl?_pos=3&_sid=cb74b4579&_ss=r

Treat heat sickness by providing a cooling medium such as dampened soil to lie in or ice cubes to scratch in to cool the legs and feet.

Most important, give them all an electrolyte solution to drink. Per chicken, one cup of water with a pinch of salt and baking soda with one teaspoon sugar.

I do hose down the ground where the shade is all day and I’ll be ordering that antibiotic immediately! Thank you
