Chickens are very sick, Please help! ( Up Date! )

[saltandpepper2]

Hello. I have a flock of 15 chickens, all laying very well. A few months ago, I noticed that one had an eye that was not as pronounced as the rest. Now, the rest of the flock have swollen faces. No sneezing, no runny nose, no running eyes. Just really swollen faces. I tried tylan 50, duramycin, sulmet, and herbs. But, nothing worked! I sent in a test to the Poultry association, and it came back negative for mycoplasma. What is it, and how can I treat it?

I'm not sure this is what is going on with your birds but, take a look at this Link http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/avian-atlas/search/disease/483 Sorry I don't know what you should do or give them to help.

Inflammation, get some good antibiotics. I would seek a vets advice incase its something serious, could just be a simple reaction to a virus, but better to be safe than sorry. If its affecting the whole flock either they have all had a reaction to something or its a fast spreading viral.

Seek help incase it gets worse, don't sit & wait too long for responses here.

Can you advise a brand of antibiotics? This has been going on for a while, but none of the meds that I've tried have worked.

I'm not seeing any swelling in the faces from the pics.

How old are your birds? I cant' see any face swelling from the pictures. Some of the combs look pale in color for hens that are laying well but, is that just the picture?
