    Hen gasping for air

    The symptoms you describe are respiratory, possibly bacterial or viral. Are the chickens vaccinated. Azithromycin, or Baytril are good broad spectrum. Otherwise Trimethoprim Sulfa is good broad spectrum.

    Sinus infection photos

    While helpful, this is an older "table" and many pathogens are growing resistant to these older drugs. This is the case within many species, including humans. Pharma companies are not investing in new antibiotic development, too little profit. Two wonderful books to consider having in your first...

    Ofcourse- if there are labs to support another drug class then by all means that should be the way to go. However, infections in avails can be complex and sometimes folks need a broad emergency approach.

    At this point in the infection, I am not certain that you will achieve the tissue saturation needed with Baytril PO ( Enrofloxacin Oral). YOu can either run the course of treatment and see where it gets or try another class of antibiotics. Baytril is a fluoroquinolone. I stand with my original...

    Rhode Island Red yes or no?

    I do not believe that any commercial hatcheries are involved in breeding or maintaining conservation flocks of the Heritage RIR. We maintain only a true bantam Class at this time of a 250 year old strain. However, The Association for Poultry Antiquities, the Livestock Breed Conservancy would...

    Rhode Island Red yes or no?

    This lively discussion raises some interesting issues perhaps needing some clarification. A breed is a specific group of domestic animals having homogeneous appearance (phenotype), homogeneous behavior, and/or other characteristics that distinguish it from other organisms of the same species...

    Need help with breed

    The obvious choice is White leghorn. It is reasonable to presume RIR ( Commercial strain) and Australops on the others. All in all a good hardy laying mix until your predation issues are resolved. Best of luck with them.
