Hi Ragreer My speckled sussex seems about the same but it does seem that her feet are gradually getting more swollen each fall. I have tried Tylan injectible twice and Denguard once without seeing an improvement. I wish I could help her. Not sure what to do next? Do you think its worth a...

Eggcessive- Thank you for your helpful comments. I ordered some Denagard, after doing some more research on Mycoplasma. Like Baytril, Denagard may work in cases of Tylosin-resistant strains of M. synoviae.

Hi all, I have been a guest for awhile on Backyard Chickens and have enjoyed all of the help and info from this wonderful site. Thought I would finally join. I have had chickens since I was 12 (since 1980). Right now my family (my husband and 6 and 8 year old girls) have three hens - 2...
