The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

I need help. I'm always puzzled on how to start a new thread on this site. I need advice I've been trying to deal with illness with nine week old birds. The main thing that it is is that their abdomen like if you put your ear up to them which is what I do to see if they've got something going on their lungs they sound what in their abdomen off compared other healthy chickens to these chickens so there is something wrong and I've seen that in the past two I did have one bird that died and she sounded really wet period but it's not in their lungs it's like it's in their abdomen and some of them recover and totally dry up. I've tried antibiotics it does seem to do something period they've been on cayenne and garlic in their feed I've been easing off on that. It had oregano in their water. I also was given them poultry sell iron because they had a bad case of coccidiosis before this period I just want to get these birds back on their feet and wings period I just want to know what if what I'm doing is going to actually correct the situation. okay I had been doing fermented feed. but I backed off when I started having these health problems not really knowing what the source of the problem was. so what it sounds like if you put your ear up to their abdomen it would sound like what congestion with sound like in the lungs except it's not in there long as you can clearly hear their breathing is clear. The birds that sound like that look sick. Please can someone that really knows about chicken's help me with this. I cannot experiment. I have spent all kinds of money on medicine and all kinds of things trying to help these birds and it's wringing me out dry.

it sounds like you are listening to them digest food in their crop

how is their poop, are they disheveled looking? fluffed up, but kinda crouched?

Birds have air sacs, google avian respiratory system.

its a very complex system, very neat to look into

Another possibility is maybe clostridium... One type produces gas.

oxutetrscycaline for all of them and tylan 50 injectable for the ones who developed respiratory issues.

it's really not all of them it goes through phases. Actually contacted a County Extension agent. It was just benevolence that I had his contact info from going to the County Youth Fair. I'll keep everyone updated on that sending him photos tonight. It might be something I'm doing wrong. I'm so open to anything right now. I just want these birds to be healthy again. I raised a lot of birds that doesn't mean I know everything

poop looks normal. It is in their look in their eyes that you can tell something is,not right. I compared many of My 45 birds before making the conclusion about this wet sound in their but. It is not normal.
