    Respiratory infection

    I can't find tylosin near me, My IFA said it's in short supply right now 🤷, but I did find Denegard 12.5%. I saw some people like to use that for respiratory infections.

    Respiratory infection

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/7VhVrQ7ioUNMhWwz6. There are two with puffy eyelids and the "whites" or inner eyelids? are very red. There are also multiple birds sneezing which is why I don't think it's a pecking injury or foreign matter in the eye

    Respiratory infection

    It looks like two of my 8 week old chicks have a respiratory infection. They each have an eyelid that is red and swollen, there is some sneezing. In my 5 years of raising chickens I've never dealt with a respiratory illness. Ive done some research. I'm considering taking one to my vet to...

    Ok, this chick that was maybe identified as a Rhode island red seems to be growing a head tuft now at about 3 weeks.

    So cute! Mine doesn't have feathered legs. I've been pouring over online photos and I think my chick looks like a lavender Ameracauna and a lavender orpington. I can't tell a difference in the photos I've found. Ugh. I guess I will have to be a little more patient.

    I may just have to wait a few weeks and see how their feathers grow in. I'll post updated pics in a week or two maybe that will help.

    Interesting. That would be awesome if it was a lavender Ameracauna. I know my Easter eggers have always had noticable cheek muffs from day 1. Her whole head seems rather delicate, refined, feminine. Different from my other chicks.

    I do think it must be a lavendar something as I also have blue copper marans chicks that are definitely darker gray.

    Hmmm. I thought Ameracaunas had cheek muffs which this chick does not?.

    ID mystery chicks

    Well if it is an RIR maybe it was the free meal maker and the silver laced wyandotte was the other rare one. I don't think of the wyandottes as rare but it is in Meyers list for this assortment. After looking at more pics I do think the second one could very well be RIR. I didn't realize...
