joza2210 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) I have had my little pekin hen for a while now ... And to be honest she has always got a cold ... We give her respite ... We give her garlic water ... And we have even tried antibiotics and paracetamol a while back and still its not gone ! What do you think it could be ? She is laying ...

Egluntyne Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Maybe she has an allergy, perhaps to the bedding material you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 She needs to see a vet. She could have any one of a number of illnesses. Mycoplasma springs to mind. It is highly contageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joza2210 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 She has been removed from the flock for about 3 days now ... We only have 2 local vets around my dads (Within a 2 hour drive) And both do not have a clue to do with poultry I dont know what to do Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
