Maybe a month or so ago I had some sick birds so the whole flock got Tylosan.
Last week I had two isolated for coughing and sneezing but now I have some that were to be culled this week sneezing. All eating and drinking well, running around.
I have delayed starting antibiotics because I was set to cull. Today is the deadline I set for myself to cull or to get everyone on antibiotics (including the two isolated ones, not like that helped but oh well
I have read that so long as a meat bird isn't crazy ill and you're very thorough about removing lung material, that a respiratory infection shouldn't affect the meat.
But I wanted to ask one last time before either the five I had earmarked for today get culled (only 2 have occasional sneezes, but I assume everyone has it) or skip that and do antibiotics and withdrawal time period.
Any help appreciated.
