My chickens are sneezing and sound awful. I have been battling this for some time. It seems to have just exploded since the weather has become colder.
I have read once they have this they remain carriers. I have read so many posts here regarding respatory issues and I am so confused about what to do to treat it. I purchased Tylosin Powder from Jedds (the information is below) as I have read that is can be used; however, the information says not to give to laying hens. I have read too it can be given with zero egg withdrawal.
Please help. I am in a rural community and with limited funds (now that I've spent $40.00 for this medication. The people a Jedds quoted the zero withdrawal despite the information on the website. They also suggested adding honey to the water to make it taste better so the chickens will drink more.
I would like to treat them as soon as possible. They sound just awful.
Thank you so much in advance.
