What is killing my hens?

This morning Lady seems to be doing better. She’s drinking on her own and her tail is up. She’s still doing some neck stretch breathing, but I’m hopeful.

I magnified the photo.
There appears to be yellow in color gunk/patch on the roof of her mouth. Is it from eating feed? See if you can remove it with a q-tip. If not, look at the back of her throat as best as you can and see if you can see the same thing.

So…. Most of that stuff is gone now. This is what was left.

Just Lady? Or Susan as well? If I treat Susan it’ll end up treating Daisy as well (she’s the pullet, about 2 months old). Susan and Daisy are the only birds outside. Lady is in the bathroom.

If they have the same yellowish plaque, it would be best to treat them as well.

They don’t. Lady doesn’t even have it anymore.

Well, these 2 ladies are still hanging on. Lady seems better, but also not. It’s weird. She’s now coughing/sneezing. Hopefully it’s the junk coming out but who knows. She’s drinking on her own. She’s not eating feed, but ate a bit of scrambled egg, sunflower seeds, and blueberries. I made a paste of wet feed, but she didn’t want it either. I’m

Susan is still outside. I tried to get her to eat some egg, but she’s not interested. She still sounds like not enough liquid in a straw. I gave her a bit of nutri-drench last night with her abx.

Daisy isn’t showing any symptoms.

I’ve only got the 2 hens and 1 pullet now. I don’t want to leave Daisy alone outside, but I also don’t want to put her in with the sick girls.

Today is day 3 of the tylan. Looks like we’re going for the full 7.

Photo is Daisy.

Susan is drinking!

Here’s a video of how she sounds.

Her crop is quite large. I'd make sure it's emptying overnight.

It was empty last night. She’s just really fluffy.

I will triple check though. Thank you

Last night. So she's not been eating.
Is she pooping?

A crop should be empty in the morning before they eat/drink. Re-check.
