    If I use TYlan 50 for respiratory illness are they still contagious?

    I’m going to give my sick girls some Tylan 50. They have wheezing, sneezing and some bubbles in corner of eye. How soon can I put them back with the flock? Do I have to wait until I give them the last dose or does antibiotics make them not contagious?

    Pullet or cockerel?

    I got these three showgirls (2 frizzle and 1 satin) from a local breeder. They are about 4-5 weeks old. At what age can you sex a showgirl? Also, are they feathered enough to spend the day outside? I took them out for about 20 min, but they were shivering a little so I took them back inside.

    These silkies are 4-5 weeks old. Some have a lot bigger combs then the others. I know silkies are very hard to sex, but do the ones with the larger combs look more like cockerels?
