This is an opinion. I cant agree that giving such medicines are harmless.You're correct. The article also states it could be bacterial. As you know, antibiotics have no effect with virus's. You have nothing to lose by trying an antibiotic. Good luck.
Giving antibiotics that doesn’t address the illness , weakens a chicken and can even kill her because you kill all the good bacteria too.
I really hate it that people advice to give antibiotics to chickens not knowing for sure. Because this way people are creating resistant bacteria. In my country this is a real problem nowadays.
@A Swede in France , I hope your chicken gets better of course. But I never gave antibiotics or any other medicines and I dare to say that my chickens are healthy. And I had only very few losses due health problems.
