2-wk old chick with weepy eyes

You can start with the yogurt tonight -that's fine.

If you see even the slightest respiratory symptom, consider a good antibiotic like Tylan or LS50, or if the bird's drainage is smelly Sulmet. You can use yogurt with Tylan (tylosin) or Sulmet (a sulfa drug), but not LS50 (lincomycin/spectinomycin).

I thought he was getting better but when I went out last night to lock everyone in, he was dead.

On the bright side though, the other ones with weepy eyes are all doing fine now. At least he was just one of my mutts and not my Serama babies. It usually works the other way around.

What of the vitamins are you using?

I'm very sorry to hear about your lost baby, in any case.

I am giving them Vi-tal along with yogurt and boiled eggs.

OK, thanks. I just wanted to see what seemed to be working.

Checks and balances, you know.
