Yeah, I've been carefully inspecting the rest of the flock three times a day... always listening for raspy breathing. I've seen no others that appear to be plagued by this ailment.

Some of my chickens are sick. It's not coryza as there's no foul odor... so I'm assuming it's CRD. They've been separated for around 5 days now from the flock. They all got shots of Tylan 200 for 3 days. Though, I'm kinda worried... should I have used Baytril for this instead? We had the Tylan...

Here's pics of my two. They aren't exactly recent... these were taken this past March -- don't mind how "nice" & dirty they are. Remington - Percheron/TB gelding Aetna - Percheron mare

I don't think the little black one is a Black Sex-Link -- wouldn't she have golden flecking on her chest if she was? And also shouldn't she have black legs? Of course - I've seen Black Stars that look similar to her & they're a type of Sex-Link. I just don't know what she is... maybe I'll just...

Yes.... ideally would be twice that height (6 ft.)... but I would also cover it. This would end the problem abruptly.

My girls definitely prefer crumbles... might I ask - why did you switch if they were laying well before-hand?
