    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    I would like to suggest that you call the State Vet and have him tested. You may be dealing with a respiratory issue and it could make all your birds carriers. I recently lost over 30 chickens that had to be culled because of MS (mycoplasma synoviae). From reading here, you have invested a lot...

    There are 2 of us on here that live in Coffee County GA (that I know of). Lots of luck finding a place to move!

    I had 2 game hens that grew spurs. My RIR had the nubs but they never grew.

    Good to see you back! I love the coop. Sure would love to see your Tolbunts-haven't seen them since they were little!

    Chicken sneezing, culling, treating...questions not answered by searching threads

    So sorry you have to go through this! I went through it last month and it was hard to lose my chickens but I knew it was for the best. Mine had Mycoplasma Synoviae so I knew I could never have new birds until the disease was gone. Wishing you all the best and hopefully you can start over with...

    Congested Chickens?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/730320/can-a-chicken-with-mycoplasma-be-eaten Here is what others have said about eating them. That is just mycoplasma but as stated, respiratory issues are in the respiratory tract and that part is discarded. I wouldn't personally eat one that is showing any...

    YAY for you! 25 lbs is great! I just started back with the Atkins diet to lose my last 20 lbs (would have only been 10 but I faltered on my diet). That last 10 lbs for you should be a breeze. YAY for your hubby too. Great job, wish we could lose that fast!

    My two months old buff orpington eye problem

    You can treat them all if they can't be separated. Glad to hear they are doing great!

    Congested Chickens?

    The problem with respiratory disease is that they have all been exposed either by contact with you or by being housed together so the vet would tell you to cull them all and wait a month at least to ensure the disease is gone. If you are raising these chickens as pets, you may elect to keep...

    Congested Chickens?

    Sounds like a respiratory disease like MG or MS. A cheap treatment would be Duramycin-10. My State Vet said to mix 5 teaspoons per gallon of water for all birds over 4 weeks. Give for 7 days. If you want to give them injections, you can get Tylan. I'm not familiar with it and it's dosing but...

    My two months old buff orpington eye problem

    I would isolate the sick one for now. Do you have any antibiotics on hand? I treated mine with Duramycin-10. It can be found at feed stores and Tractor Supply Co. It's a cheap antibiotic but does work well for birds that haven't been on them before. The dosage my vet gave was 5 teaspoons per 1...

    My two months old buff orpington eye problem

    Just remember that eye swelling and bubbles in the eyes can be symptoms of respiratory diseases. When symptoms go away, it does not mean that the disease is cured. Respiratory diseases make your birds carriers for life. Hopefully your bird just had something to irritate his eye but keep a watch...

    My two months old buff orpington eye problem

    Sorry no one has replied to you. It also looks to be swollen? Do you have other chickens? Do you notice any other symptoms in this one- wheezing, sneezing, runny nostrils?

    Is that a feed store? If you have to use antibiotics again to help keep their disease at bay, I can recommend Duramycin-10. It isn't the strongest of antibiotics but it is cheaper. (I had to use 4 pouches of it just to keep mine stable). The vet said I can use 5 teaspoons per gallon of water...
