12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Was isolated from flock when I discovered it.
I noticed my pullet had a dirty beard yesterday and when I took her out to wash her face I discovered the lesions on her face and mouth. I’ve separted her and given her 2 doses of doxy so far. This morning she’s looking worse. She has a really strong smell to her, shes wheezing, & acting lethargic. Should I be tube feeding at this point?
She came shipped from the same breeder that sent me a sick Coccidiosis chicken 4 weeks ago, not sure if it’s related.
