    MG or something else?

    Thank you. I just wish I knew if my flock has it or not for sure. Those chicks were in a pen inside my big pen for about a week before they started showing symptoms at which time I immediately removed them but I didn't realize how easy it is to spread at that time. My adult birds seem fine but...

    MG or something else?

    You know, the reason I found this is because I want to understand something. What I am wondering about is how many people buy and sell chicks/chickens with MG or MS since it is so common because I was just on Facebook scrolling through one of those chicken groups and it's amazing how many people...

    Will do guys, thank you! I cleaned out the coop yesterday and noticed his poop was normal as before so I think he's on the mend. I'm gonna check on that Oxine therapy though!

    My poor rooster sounds terrible

    His crop was empty when we were treating him with the antibiotics. He didn't eat for a couple of days at his worst until he was breathing a little better. His crop felt very small though like half the size of a golf ball and soft like just a small ball of tissue. I don't see any crysty eyes or...

    He did have a minor wound toward his back rear but was breathing fine for about 2 weeks. After more thought I believe it must have been the ammonia in the pen because after the dog attack he was sleeping on the floor and all of the hens were up on the roost so he was getting the worst of it. He...

    My poor rooster sounds terrible

    He ate his eggs, some chick starter/pellets mix and drank some vitamin water this morning. He looks like he feels better but his vocal chords are definitely not normal lol. I am leaving town in the morning so I don't think he will get any more injections. Tonight will be #5 dose. I could maybe...

    I gave him a scrambled egg and some yogurt the first day but he wasn't interested in eating so I took that out yesterday. I put some chick starter in there and he ate that today. I scrambled another egg for him so we will see if he has that for breakfast. His vocal chords have definitely been...

    We will try to weigh him. He is drinking more and finally sitting/resting today. I think I heard him try to crow this morning. :) We checked down his throat with a flashlight first day and it was clear with no smell.

    Here's a picture of our coop as it was being built. It's worked well for the past 3 years although I have done a better job in the past of cleaning it out every day than here lately. I try not to let it get to where you can smell any ammonia. I keep the side door open throughout the day but...

    I just found him drinking some so that is encouraging. Tonight will be round 3 of Tylan 50. We are giving him 1/2 cc per day. I haven't weighed him but he's a full size RIR although he feels a little lighter than in the past. The high stepping seems to be better but he still does lift his legs...
