Hello. Chickens can get upper respiratory infections. Like us, most of these are viruses, so no great treatments. There is no reason to start any antibiotics. Make sure your hens are as stress free as possible, has access to plenty of fresh water, good feed, special treats & if you need to isolate some, do so. If you plan on adding anymore birds, make sure they have been vaccinated for Marek's. This will only add a few dollars to the cost of each chick.
