ThanksMy chickens are going through the same thing right now (some have bubbly eyes, one has some liquidy stuff coming up into her mouth - not too much - and I noticed a few had swollen sinuses). I think it’s a combo of a minor mite issue mixed with a sudden change in the weather (we had relatively warm weather and then suddenly it got cold and rainy - this is the first rain most of them has seen) that has them a bit stressed. Only about four out of my ten are sick, and so far everyone is still eating and drinking normally and laying eggs with no lethargy.
I assume it’s Mycoplasma based on the symptoms, and have been adding Nutridrench to their water and keeping an eye on them. Noticed it in my roo, first, and thought he had an eye injury so I gave him some Terramycin (Terramycin is awesome, by the way).
So far, they are doing okay - not getting worse, with a few getting better and so far no one else is showing symptoms (fingers crossed). Hope yours heals up soon!
