Fustrated with Chickens illness (CRD?) *Pics included*

CRD is caused by MG. I don't think culling any bird that shows symptoms is needed unless it is chronic. If they are molting, the weather is really horrible, or they are otherwise stressed it really isn't fair to rule out their immune system. We all have times when we are more susceptible to diseases, chickens too. Good post.
 
Help!
I am very new to chickens. I have six hens in my back yard. I got them 3 months ago when they were about 8 weeks old. One died a month ago for unknown reasons so we got another one. I didn't separate her from the others but she seems healthy. Three days ago one of my original hens, my Favorelle started acting funny. She is so much worse just in the last two days! Droopy, bubbly eye and sneezing and wheezing, her mouth is hanging open like she is having a hard time breathing. From what I have been reading, it's CRD. I separated her about 24 hours after she started acting under the weather but before she got really bad. I ordered tylan 50 but it has not come in the mail yet. Will it come with a syringe to give it to her? How often am I supposed to give it to her? I am afraid she won't make it through the night. The meds won't get here until to or row at the earliest! I don't want my girls to die!!!
Any help would be great! Is tylan 50 something I can put in the drinking water?
Thanks stephanie
