    All my chickens are on Tylan Soluable for upper respitory problems. There has been a decline in egg production since they all got sick about 2 weeks ago. My older chickens seem to be a lot better, although the egg production has not gone up (which in a way I'm glad, b/c I don't want to throw...

    I have around 30 chickens that are all coughing and sneezing. Some aren't even eating/drinking. Is it safe to use Tylan Soluble on egg laying chickens? If so, is there a withdrawal on using the eggs?

    What I learned, Or what I thought I understood!

    First day and 21st day

    Pick No More Lotion by ROoster Booster

    I am wondering how many of you use this and where is the best place to purchase it. It doesn't look like TSC supplies anything close to this and Blue Kote has not worked and either does pine tar. Give me your opinion. Thanks
