Sneezing and wheezing

Ok... so I guess now I just need to make a decision, culling or treating, hoping they survive the simultaneous sicknesses with some help and antibiotics.

I feel exhausted, what a mess.
My family had chickens for decades, just free ranging in the country side, without problems other than the occasional fox... and here I am with 6 pullets fed a nice fermented feed and electrolyte water and whatnot, all comfort, and in 2.5 weeks we have gone through half of the Merck's poultry section. Surreal.
 
Omg, one is just cold and stiff dead in the coop this morning. She was the wheezing and sneezing one, and the one that tested positive out of the 2 samples I sent.

She was lively and eating well and even laying up till yesterday, I did not see that coming!

I thought I'd see signs that they where not doing well (like lethargy, not eating, not laying) before one just dies like this...

I guess I should expect the other one with symptoms to follow tomorrow then. :(

Not if you provide treatment. The medications recommended all work within hours.

Some diseases chickens get can kill in hours if left untreated. It's great that you had them tested, but Bubble Eye is pretty much a timer. They need antibiotics immediately.
