I have several birds with a clear runny nose. No smell, no sneezing, swelling eyes or any other sickly symptoms. They are eating fine, acting very normal. Poo is normal. The nights here have been very cool and damp. Fog and a lot of dew in the mornings and I have had an open window in the coop...

I gave them yogurt yesterday and they have the electrolytes in their water today. So you think I should go ahead and do the wazine in the water first then wait about 10 days and then do the Ivormec drops on their back. Steve

I have about 13 chickens anywhere from 4 months to 6months old. None are laying yet. I have just been battling mites that made about 3 of them sick. They are doing much better now. Haven't had any medication for couple of days. Tylan 50 injections a couple of days ago cleared the respiratory...

I use DE also and just had Mites almost kill 3 of my birds. I thought they had aquired some kind of Resp. desease and have been fighting that for the last week. Just noticed yesterday that they had mites and thats what has caused the other problems. I dusted the birds with Seven dust 5% and...

The Tylan 50 injections seem to have done the trick. They are all much better today. 2 are acting normal and the 1st one to be sick and was much sicker than the other 2 is coming around this afternoon. She got a second shot this morning. She would not eat or drink all day then finally this...

May have good news tonight. I went to start the Tylan 50 injections. While parting the feathers I noticed little red bugs crawling around. Then I got to watching the others and they were picking at themselves pretty bad. i then grabed up one that wasn't showing respiratory signs. Looked under...

They are about 5 to 6 months old. I have had them for about 2 months. 1 rooster and 2 hens, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. I had drive a long way to get them and I was planning on breeding. I hope it's nothing serious, These are hard to come by. Some of the other are sneezing now and then but...

Bubbly eyes, snotty nose, raspy breathing, some sneezing. No bad smell from beak area. First one, now three have same symptoms. Eyes swollen and faces pale. Eyes not shut though. They stretch their neck a little to breath. They are still eating and drinking. I have them on Sulmet since...

I had the same problem. They were actually plucking the feathers and eating them. I bought some Game Crumbles from TSC 24% protein and a bag of black oil sunflower seeds. I mix these together.I also treat with scrambled eggs about once or twice a week. Mine have stopped and the feathers are...

I got the Tylan 50. Can you tell me how to give the shots. Sulmet in the water now. Will do the shots tonight. They are eating and drinking so hopefully I can get this knocked out before I have to deal with a nutrition problem. It just started about 2 days ago. Thanks Steve.

Thanks so much. I will change them to Sulmet this morning. I have another one this morning looking swollen around the eyes and looks like some pus around the eyes. Looks like bad sinus infections. Same dosage. 2 teaspoons in a gallon of water. I'll also pick up some Tylan 50. Can I give a...

Didn't notice a funny smell, I will check in the morning. I went out tonight to check on her and she seemed better. More perky and eye was opening some. Last night droopy and eye closed and wouldn't open. I got some yogurt and some of that Polyvisol vitamin without Iron from Walmart tonight...

I thought I read on here that Corid and Sulmit were the bsically the same except that Corid was a little better. Fought more Cocci than Sulmit. Can Cocci cause the Eye swelling and respiratory stuff also?

Some of my hens are sneezing and have runny noses. Now one has a swollen eye and bloody stool. I have started them all on Cori in the water) tonight and the one with the swollen eye and bloody stool is not eating. She went for some bread so I gave her a small bit of bread with the Cori on the...
