Hello, I am new to this forum. I come here a lot, but hardly post. I do need some advice right now, though. My EE roo, Jasper had some crud on his eye today. I thought it was an injury & sprayed it with Vetericyn. But looking more closely, it looks more like a cold of some sort. We have had some cold windy days lately & he never goes in the coop with the girls. I have other shelter & some wind breaks, but he got sick anyway.
I did remove him from the hens & they all look okay except for 1 who has a tiny bit of mucus also. I have tetracycline hydrochloride, but have never used it. I've only been into chickens for about a year. Could someone please help?
I have isolated the roo, but thought I should medicate the whole flock just in case. They are all contained in a pen about 250 sq ft & I have 14 chooks in all.
I've included a picture of Jasper. Thank you in advance for any advice.
