can carry other diseases or weaken immune system so that something else does.

Hmmm ok well I just wormed him and also gave a shot of tylan. He is my aunts rooster and I have to leave now so hope he pulls through

I check both coops, and the poop isn't abnormal.... what I do find abnormal is the amount of sick chickens that have been posted about today..

I mean, what's up with that?

The second chick just died. It was acting zombie-like, then I watched it spasm and die. I really don't understand this. I feed my chicks medicated feed (which is supposed to help), they always have clean water, and have lots of space to roam.

Something in the air..something in the food? very strange

The spasms are death spasms don't always mean more then dying. For sure send him in.

he is shaking his head. Will mites/lice cause death?

Yes they will is he really skinny? If he is your aunts rooster disinfect yourself when you go home so you don't bring it with you.

Also if its *** is wrong not omg respitory LA 200 is your best bet. Tylan is resp only nothing for bacteria or general. And if you use it when they don't need it it will not work if you do.

Hmm.... I checked my sick boy out a little more closely. His crop is FULL. Way too full for the stuff that I have given him. It's grainy too; it feels like chicken feed. Is it possible that he has an impacted crop? Do his symptoms match?

I'm going to go googling.

Yes I went over to check on him for her. She's out of town. I def changed clothes and shoes etc...

What are you saying about the LA 200? What is it used for? Where can she get it and what doseage? Thanks

It is an injectable antibiotic that is a general that was recommend by a chicken vet as the best choice when you don't know what stuff could be but it is unlikely to be an infection. Tylan is great for respitory issues but it does nothing for things that are not respitory. If you don't know what is wrong cast wider net.

I got ours at tractor supply.

Wow, sorry to the folks who've had losses. Hope you get answers. Crossing my fingers for the sick birdies.

Thank you very much. What dose do you use?

Speaking of blood rings...I pulled this on day 7. It looked like a small blood ring throug the shell, but after opening it in a baggie it looks more like early veining.
The other one pulled looked like day 12, from day 1. I blamed my light at first-but it was scrambled. One in 24 scrambled in a perfectly wrapped undamaged box.
Does this look like a blood ring? Is it usually bacteria from the incubator?
Finally got pic to load but harder to see the ring.
