Hi Monsterclucker,

Have you noticed any improvement with your sick chickens with the anti biotic!

Ron

Actually yes! The redness does seem to be going away! So ill keep refreshing everyones water everyday with this and hopefully soon it all clears up.

One thing I wanted to ask was, I noticed none of the chicks have runny noses or sneezing, coughing, or no wheezing heard in their chirps. What is that about? They've all had it for about a month since I've had them. Wouldn't the cold or CRD or whatever have gotten worse by now and affected them more with other symptoms?
It seems to just be affecting their eyes. Redness and bubbles.

No hens a'laying. 26 1/2 weeks old for 4 pullets and it's almost October. What are my odds they will even start laying this year? 15 and 17 weeks old for the rest of them.

Now that I have the extra cockerels out of the coop- I have room for more. When do y'alls chickens start laying again- Feb?

No I think that it's individual. Just like when we get colds my husband gets the whole shebang. Me? I get like half the cold symptoms and usually pretty darn mild. (someone can correct me if i am wrong) From what I read in my chicken handbook that explains about various diseases/infections it lists symptoms but not all symptoms will be present for each chicken.

Today was a Looong day! My Gold Laced Brahmas shipped from South Carolina 1:30pm on the 25th. We paid for Express Overnight delivery which was somewhere around $125 with a money back guarantee if not delivered today by 3:00pm. So they didn't get to the Redding postal distribution until today where they sat until 3pm! 3 full days no water (There was watermelon in the box thank God!). I had been calling my local post office since yesterday to try and figure out if I had to come and get them or were they being dropped off to my address, which they didn't know. So I call the distribution office to try and find out why the chickens were still there?? They told me they had been there since 1am?? Wow. What is going on at that place? So I finally make the lady understand the importance of getting this box, or I thought I did. She said they would be to my door no later than 3:30! So an hour later my local PO calls and says they have my chickens! Long story short I rush down before they closed and rescued my new Gold Laced Brahmas from the hell of the Post office!

Actually it is good that you do not see the coughing sneezing and such. Nearly all of the illnesses that cause those symptoms in chickens have a cull them all recommendation and many of them die any way. I am not saying you have to do that. You would have to close the flock though.

It sounds like what you have is not one of those so Good on You!

And this is exactly why I was so paranoid when my chickens were having issues. Yay for Davis and necropsies so I know!
