wheezing rooster

thank u so much

what is the dosing for tylan 50 injectable

dosing information for liquid tylan 50

i guess could be, but usually he is on roost by himself. the hens roost on another next to him. (have 2 roosts in henhouse) .maybe they do it in the pen during lthe daytime

yes,, but they stay gone all year until the next molt

every year my 6 yr. old roo molts and his feathers come in and he looks great. By the end of Jan. he loses his hackle feathers on his back leaving just the down feathers. Looks ugly then. Any info about this. None of the other birds lose any feathers. Not sure if it is bugs or not. Have dusted...
