Chickens Sneezing, Use Tylan?

You should probably throw away your eggs for at least a week, I did mine for two weeks just to be safe.

Tylan ,tylan, tylan!!! My whole flock got sick from one sick hen that i brought in. They were sneezing and coughing terrible. I bought Tylan 50, used for injections and gave it to them orally. Now,this isnt the easiest way to administer but it worked!! I used a needle with the needle part taken out..( my daughter takes allergy shots) and for my full grown hens i used 2 cc of medicine, now this is for the tylan50 they make tylan 200 as well, i dont know the measurements for that. I gave my whole flock 2 cc for 7 days. I did this at night when they went to roost, i just plucked them off one by one. Getting the medicine down their throat is kinda hard, you need at least two people to do this. And be careful not to break their necks and beaks while trying to hold them and open their mouths. I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions just ask..

Pulling on the wattles/beard will open a beak right nicely. The squirming and wiggling is what I have trouble with trying to dose a bird. If you can cover their head, they quiet down but if you got to oral dose, theres no way to cover their eyes and leave the beak out.

We have a hes with bubble / foamy stuff coming out of her eye, I am thinking about Tylan from Tractor Supply. I am considering separating this hen and orally dosing her for a few days, while bleaching the water of the other 5 hens.

I wanted to see if any of you guys could post a followup on how it's been working?

A combo of Tylan 200 and duramycin (sp?) in water worked well on my sneezing chicken earlier this year...double check her symptoms, though. Someone who has more experience with disease may comment on the causes of foamy/bubbly eye.

Look up information on eye worms in chickens, i heard something about that a little while ago, and the chicken had an eye worm.
