Can chickens and turkeys live together in the same coop?

[bigginswiggins]

I got my Tylan at Tractor Supply. I use Tylan 50 injectable, but just like Ivan3 said, the Tylan 200 will work. There are a ton of dosing instructions here on the BYC, there are many different opinions on how to administer, for how long, etc. etc. just do the best you can. I read a gagillion different threads and tons of info and was sooooo worried but it all worked out okay for my birds. Wahoo!

Heres a useful link and I've included a pic of the Tylan I use. I find sometimes seeing the right product is helpful!

Tylan 200 (tylosin) is 200mg/ml and Tylan 50 (tylosin) is 50mg/ml, so it's 1/4th the strength.

Thanks for the additional info. folks. I always suggest weighing the bird and working out the dose from there.

Avian Medicine: Principles and Applications, is available for download by individual chapter (he used to allow single/full download), the formulary is handy (whole book is worth downloading):

Yes, always weigh! And thanks for the link, it's probably some of the best info available on the web.
