Hen gasping for breathe, possibly dying

[2 Acres]

Your chickens may have just caused you to be a Guinea pig. If nothing else, the warm tea water may help.

I have also been adding Oregano, cayenne pepper,and garlic to my chickens feed. to help their immune system.

Took two hens to the vet today, since they improved dramatically on clavamox I was prescribed antibiotics to put in their water and treat the entire flock. Vet didnt seem interested in testing them since we had a treatment that was working and it wouldnt change much / would save money.
So far no new deaths, current chickens improving. I won't be able to have eggs for 40 days but its worth it.
I'll update if anything changes, but maybe this will help someone!

The good news is that if antibiotics are working it’s not avian influenza which is a virus.

How are your chickens now?

They’re doing great, everyone is looking healthy. Not even a single sneeze left. Nobody else died. They have a little longer on antibiotics then they’ll be all clear.
