    Can the MG vaccine be given to adult chickens? Or is it for chicks only?

    Also, my chickens are free ranged and walk all over within the backyard perimeter. I am not sure how I am to disinfect the whole yard. Or do I need to? Or, is it only the coup and the run that I need to worry about?

    Well, getting rid of the flock is not an option--kids gave every chicken a name, and they were broken hearted about the ones we already lost. The vet suggested to watch the second bird. I will give it up to put to sleep, if it gets worse, now that I know what is going on. We are very attached...

    Thank you for the info. I think that Tylan is used for injections, I have powdered Tylosin. I will look at Baytril. Do I need prescription for it? Thanks again!

    Well, this stinks... I just got a word from the vet that my little Mini that died last week (after me carrying for her for two months) had Mereck's, MG, and MS! I got new birds from a local family farm after a stinking possum murdered my perfectly happy healthy birds (one was left, because...

    Limping Chicken With a Weak Middle Toe - PLEASE HELP!

    I am so happy your hen is better now! Upon examining my hen, I see that the swelling on her left foot is down and the foot is healing. She started to improve with antibiotics. Soaks and topical stuff did not work much as her foot kept on becoming more swollen. I am glad I had Tylosin on hand...

    Limping Chicken With a Weak Middle Toe - PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for the insight! I did not think of the broken toe. She is the largest and heaviest of my chickens, but is the most gentle and least aggressive, so the others pick on her. Her middle toe does hang limp as well, kind of straight and she doesn't bend it. I gave in and started her on...

    Limping Chicken With a Weak Middle Toe - PLEASE HELP!

    I just checked the feet of my other chickens and their feet are nice, soft, and smooth without blemishes or any roughness. Sparkles (my sick chicken), however, has this roughness that is on the photo.

    Limping Chicken With a Weak Middle Toe - PLEASE HELP!

    I have examined her again and see that now her left foot is a bit swollen on the outside side. I also noticed that the bottoms of her feet are rougher than usual and kind of scaly (?). Here are pics of the bottom of her left foot.

    Limping Chicken With a Weak Middle Toe - PLEASE HELP!

    Hello! No swollen joints. She prefers to stand on the other leg and keep this one up. I can take the pictures, but there seem nothing different as far as color going on. Both legs appear to be the same.
