Jenni Cave

She is now on antibiotics as are the other 2. The vet was puzzled as her "snot" really smells nasty. Almost an infected, rotting smell! Apart from that she had a thorough check over and everything else is absolutely fine which is a relief. I spent the evening scaring myself by reading abiut chicken respiratory illnesses!

Can anyone give me advice please? I have 2 bantams and 1 hybrid. My hybrid has started with a runny nose and a sneeze today. I have had to wipe her little beak several times and the "snot" smells funny. I shall consult my vet tomorrow but in the meantime, any advice would be appreciated.

I finally brought my chooks home just over a week ago now. I have 2 bantams and 1 hybrid. They have settled in beautifully and my son and I love spending time out in the garden with them. I was amazed how quickly they became used to the dogs and they now touch nose to beak through the run. I don't let them all loose in the garden at the same time! Looking forward to our first egg!
