    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    That's the same shoes I'm sitting it, new chicks in the brooder.... this morning besides waking up voiceless, I went out to find something had gotten my only laying hen and her half eaten body was just lying there!! I guess the Myans where right. I may be over dramatic about this but i...

    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    I don't even want to go out there tonight.... One minute I just feel I'd be best to cull the sickest ones- another I just feel like I should treat the whole flock with Tylan sick or not and close my flock for the time being. The intruder that brought all this here I would like to take back to...

    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    So this morning when I go in the coop- more chicks sneezing. Joy. The sick birds continue to decline, but I have started the treatment of Tylan 50, now it looks like I just need to treat them all. I don't know what to do, its to the point if I separate every sneezing bird I don't have room. None...

    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    Yes i mean mg i have also seen it refered to ms or csd maybe even... ok whatever it is it sucks. And it shares all the symptoms of coryza almost. I dosed based on several articles i read- .5cc for chickens and .25 for bantams, since my chicks are between 6 and 8 weeks i used .25 im giving that...

    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    Yes, I'm really not positive between the ms and coryza because some people say strong smell and some people say you don't always have the smell. I'd be happier (if that's even possible at this point) with coryza because at least their eggs waln't be carriers. I'm riding it out at this point. I...

    8week old chick sneezing, boogers no eye discharge

    Thank you I'm giving tylan 50 to them, I haven't put it in the water yet but the 8 in the sick brooder are getting it orally and the one large hen- I think the culprit by injection. From all my reading this is chronic and they will all be carriers right? I really had intended on raising and...

    Coryza? Pics!

    I think I have something serious going through my flock as well. I got a new hen like two weeks ago, she seemed fine but then one day I noticed her eye crusted shut. I quarantined her for her protection thinking someone just pecked her. The next day a had a chick sneezing, and breathing out of...

    What Homesteading book do you recommend?

    I ordered The Homesteading Handbook but Abigail R. Gehring, It's got a lot of good general topics but not enough specifics on what I was looking for. I go flip through them at Tractor Supply and then order ones I like off Amazon, saves a bundle!

    Please help me value my flock

    Lovely bunch, I love the blue ones! I think your area would have some effect on pricing and if you find someone looking specifics you can probably get more than in general. Check craigslist to get an idea. Im around north ms and at a monthly flea market full size hens (laying or not- because...
