Hi Everyone,A few of my Girls seem to have come down with something.Two of my Americaunas had the bubbly snotty eye for a few days but this morning it seems to be cleared up.I listened to some of my other girls & no sound from their chest when theybreath.My little bantam Stanley had the same thing but she has a rattle in her chest & wheezes when she breaths.I started giving her Teramyacin last night by mouth Via a eye dropper & this morning her breathing seems a little better.I have read about using Tylan injectable I may give
it to the bantam but I really don't want to give it to any of my egg layers because of the worry of transmitting the antibiotic in the eggs.Is there anything that is actually labeled for layers?Heres a little background on my birds .We added 20 started pullets about a week ago to 23 birds that we already had (Welsummers,RIR,Barred rock & americauna).I was lazy & didn't quarentine the new girls(delewares white rocks BR & americaunas) we just mixed them together.The new girls all look good & have shown no signs of sickness.Is the CRD something they had but the stress
brought it out or maybe carried by the new girls.My coop also had a pretty strong ammonia smell.We had warm spell & I didn't get the windows opened soon enough to establish good ventilation.Could that have been a contributor.They don't have any bad smells.I read that Coryza has abad smell.They just smell like normal.It hasn't been a yr since we started on the chicks but you learn alot when you have to in situations like this.Thanks for any advice Mike
