The mucus build up is common and can be treated with apple cider vinegar. Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to each gallon of fresh water for 3 days and allow no other source of water to the flock. This will treat both the healthy hens as a preventative and those hens already suffering. Keep in mind not to do this more than the three days as it becomes less effective the longer you use it. Cider vinegar cuts through the mucus and helps the hens clear it out. Your hen is not eating because it cannot breathe well. You can also source a tonic from your local feed and grain outlet. Polytonin A or a water soluble tetracycline will help clear up respiratory problems.

This could be serious. A horse should not cough. It may have an upper respiratory infection. If the mucus is yellow or green, this may be the case and should be seen by a vet.

Can you raise laying hens in the same pen as horses and Can the horses get sick from the birds in any way?

The last answer was wrong! Horses may trample on the chickens, bird flu or any illness from the chickens may pass on to the horses... Try to move the chickens into a separate pen. horses are fine with chickens but the horses could get a bit adjetated so it would have to be a big clean pen. also it is not that good for chickens to peck at horse poo but it will not make an impacked on the chickens be sure your chickens don't have bird flue Horses have different systems then chickens and cannot contract the bird flu anymore then a human can. Sickness is not the issue. A horse may easily trample a chicken which seriously cuts down on the life span of the chicken.


Can chickens eat chicken?
