    Please help! I think my flock is experiencing a respiratory infection

    So a few days ago I made a post about my rooster Steve making a very strange moaning sound. Well today, one of my hens is sneezing and making wheezing sounds.

    His eye swelling has gone down, but not completely. We would love recommendations! Normal behavior, maintaining weight, slight nasal discharge

    I found him on the road in the middle of nowhere with a swollen eye and bony. We found out at the vet he weighed less than 12oz! We got a round of antibiotics and I have been putting terramycin in his eye, but it’s not completely gone. I’d love to get him healthy and introduced to the flock...

    Transferable diseases

    I think it would be good to keep everybody informed on this. Are there any diseases thay could be transferred from your flock to you? Or vice versa? And how can we watch out for it?

    Treating worms during molt?

    I saw roundworms in a poo from one of my chickens. I’m not sure which of the ten it was, so I’d like to treat all ten. However, they’re molting right now and I read that the medicine can disrupt feather growth. So I’m using Strike III instead of something stronger. Do I need to wait until...
