First a bunch of my adolescent Dorkings got a snotty head cold. Sneezing, snotty noses, etc., but seemed to recover just fine with a course of Tylan in their water. The day after the Tylan was down some that had been sneezing and some that hadn't all came down with conjuctivitis. We'ved been cleaning thier eyes and applying topical antibiotics gel as well as putting them back on Tylan. Everyone seems to be alright now, but I keep waiting for what they are goignto catch NEXT!

It's been a record setting wet spring so everyone, chicken and people are open to colds and two of my big layer hens have gotten bumble foot from walkign around in wet chicken yards.
 
Chickens don't get colds. They get respiratory infections that are frequently highly contagious and often chronic. You may want to have your flock tested.

I am sorry. Good luck.
