    Swollen eyes and nasal drainage

    One of my friendliest hens is sick and I don’t know with what. She was fine yesterday morning but then collapsed in the early afternoon. One of her eyes is swollen shut and her face is swollen on the other side too. It’s warm to the touch and there is white drainage from her swollen eye and...

    MG respiratory infection in geese?

    Hello, I posted a while ago about my goose with a swollen face and eye. I took him to a vet and was told he had a bad case of conjunctivitis or pink eye. I know this is a symptom of MG, so I wanted to ask some questions. He had the swelling on his face but his nose and eye were leaking fluid. Is...

    Getting Tylan

    I wanted to post some information about getting your hands on Tylan, an important medication for Mycoplasma Gallisepticum. I'm sure someone else has made a thread about this somewhere, and I know a lot of information about this is widely known, but I recently had a lot of trouble getting my...

    Mycoplasma and MG-BAC

    I am sending in a test for MG but the symptoms are sneezing, light snot and sometimes bubbles in the eye. I’ve been treating with Tylan 50 or Tiaguard. My dad also raises his chickens and they show the same symptoms but worse since he doesn’t care to treat it consistently or as needed. His coop...

    Will a mycoplasma carrier still test positive even after symptoms are gone?

    Most of my flock has had on again off again mild respiratory infection symptoms. Right now they all seem to be symptom free but I really want to do a PCR test for MG and MS since I sell hatching eggs and chicks. Since MG and MS are a CRD will they test positive even though they aren’t showing...

    Suspected Respiratory Illness (possible MG) Running in the Flock (Brought on by Heat??)

    We have a large flock (75+ birds) of varying ages, from 12 week - 3 years old. Recently, I had to cull a young pullet (first time ever) because she was suffering and getting severely bullied because of her faillure to thrive (after treating her for wry neck or a sudden vitamin deficiency). Now...

    Doxycycline 10% dilution for a 1kg Silkie

    Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on medication as one of our silkies has been having some trouble with a mycoplasma flare-up. We have given her water-soluble Tylan prior and believe the dose was possibly too weak (0.5g per litre), though we did see some improvement. We are going to try...

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    I’m pretty frustrated and going back and forth on what to do with them. I purchased these chicks locally just for fun to add to my existing large flocks including layers, and several breeding projects I’m working on. The chicks have been isolated 100% in a metal brooder in my basement since...

    URI in chicken still not getting better

    Hi all, I am a new chicken keeper and one of my silkie hens got sick. We had two from our original flock killed by hawks, and so we ended up getting better security and got 2 fully feathered young chickens to add to our 2 remaining silkies. About 2 weeks after adding them, I think the stress of...

    Chickens eyes swollen/respiratory illness

    My chickens I have now are 12 month old brahmas and 4 month old Wyandottes. I noticed diarrhea about a month ago in my brahmas so started trying to treat that symptom, thinking it was probably cocci or worms. Now I think it is probably linked to a respiratory illness. One hen got very sick about...

    My female turkey has mycoplasma and her eyes are extremely swollen. I have tried giving her La200 and Nuflor. Nothing has helped her. What do you recommend to help her get over this?

    Positive Mycoplasma gallisepticum flock

    Hi all, I am asking for guidance regarding my newly positive MG flock. I am considering depopulation of my MG positive flock. What was your experience if you decided to depopulate? How did you come to terms/ make your final decision? How long did you wait until bringing a new flock in? What...

    Choosing Tylan vs LA 200 for mycoplasma

    I believe we might have mycoplasma. I had a chicken with a swollen bubbly eye. I isolated and treated with Tylan. It seemed to be getting better. But then two days ago, two more chickens ended up with a swollen eye. Yesterday I was up to four. Just one eye each. Only the first bird (pictured)...

    What does my chicken have?????

    I have had my first three chickens for a month now and still only once chicken is sick/ill. She (a lavender araucana pullet) was initially separated for a week and a half due to sneezing, gasping/gaping, a foul odour and lethargy. She was taken to the vet (who didn’t deal with chickens, none...

    MG in flock. CULL?

    Hello everyone. I am in desperate need of input on my current situation. Back story: Purchased some chickens from another person and quarantined them for about a month away from one of my current flocks. All seemed well, so I moved them into a holding pen that I have set up inside one of my...

    Sick bird. Mg, crd, or nothing?

    Hello, About a week ago my blind roo was acting a little weird after drinking. I thought something was wrong with his crop, so I massaged it. A short while after shaking his head a little glob of goo flew out of his mouth (picture attached, it landed on my shirt 🙄). 2 days ago I noticed that...

    Mites spreading disease?

    Hi all :) I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short. I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...
