Maybe someone can help me figure out what's going on here. My chickens have what seems like a respiratory issue for months and possibly a year and it will decrease then increase in severity. This here is one that has it pretty bad lately. They weeze and crackle when they breathe and seem to always sneeze and shake their head.
Ive talked to a vet that gave me an antibiotic that's used for respiratory issues and they were better while adminstrating it but shortly after were sick again.
I'm now giving them a similar product to vet rx in their water and it seems to have helped for the most part.
None of them have died

They also don’t all show symptoms. Right now just two have visibility respiratory issues and the rest are fine
A veterinarian would probably be a good idea.
We had the same problem with our flock around early last year. Our vet suggested we give them “stronger stuff”, by which he meant some kind of cough syrup originally meant for horses. I don’t know the American brand name, but it sure did the trick for our chickens. We are currently cough-free and have been for almost two years. ☝🏻🤞🏻
You probably just need to clean out the coop. Buncha moldy dookie
Bee Balm, Dill, Oregano and Thyme help respiratory health.
