Oh, it stinks to have one not doing well. Does the EE have some reproductive problems?I was not able to completely clean out the ears of some tiny pieces I saw that appeared to be solidified infection, but the big stuff is out, peroxide used, then packed with triple antibiotic that includes polymixin (article dawg linked mentioned that as being very effective if it is ear canker) and then dropped a drop of the silver solution into the ointment as well. Can't hurt, might help in this situation. I don't know that this is contagious necessarily, have never encountered any contagions in all these years because I have strict biosecurity, no wild birds get into the barn, etc, but the Brahmas are famous for getting food all over themselves when I feed them scrambled eggs and such and some ends up at the ear area. I treated all three of them because those three are in such close proximity all the time and their water has Oxine in it. In fact, I put that in all the waterers in the barn, used to do it frequently, but life got in the way and I hadn't for a long time. Good thing I have a mostly full quart bottle of it.
At the moment, I have a 2 1/2 yr old EE hen dying in a hospital cage, 2nd of this young hatchery group. I swear, no more darn hatchery stock! Turns out the same every time, darn it.
By the way, thanks, my friend. You must not live very far from me, being in the N. Carolina mtns. N. GA mtns here, 8/10 of a mile from the NC line.
I'm more on the SC side of the mountains, but probably about 3hrs or so from you.
