Thanks for the info. Taking him to the vet unfortunately isn't possible. I may try Fishzole if I can get a hold of it quickly. Otherwise we may have to cull. We have one other hen and getting 10 more at the end of April. Hate to do that to this poor guy, but hate to see him looking so miserable.

Wow. This morning it looks like he's got patches on roof of mouth and inside the back or beak. Now what? How should I treat? I gave him one injection this morning. Do I keep him on Tylan? He's still breathing heavy and looks the same no worse, but still awful.

Hi! We're new from RI and have a rooster who's doing terrible! Thought he may have respiratory infection so I read all the posts I could and have given him 2 injections of Tylan 50 yesterday and last night. He looked so much better this morning. His breathing improved dramatically, waddle turn...
