Hi guys. 4 days ago I bought a pair of Black Copper Marans. Both 7 months old.
I always keep new chickens in quarantine for 2 weeks. Glad I do. They are currently in my bathroom shower.
The rooster in the pair has been sneezing and gurgling. The hen is fine, no signs of sickness yet.
I've been treating with vetrx, electrolytes, nutridrench and giving fish antibiotics. But no signs of getting better....
They are both eating and drinking fine, no swollen faces, no blockages in mouth, no runny noses, eyes normal, combs both bright red. Been giving garlic, thyme, oregano and water in food for a mush!
Should I cull to keep my flock healthy? I've never had a sick chicken yet. And no local vets for chickens to check him over.
If you vote no, please give me stuff to do for them! I want to keep them forever lol
