I was told by a few people to cull my entire flock, but like you I am super attached to them. I am like woolymama in that I don't show or sell my birds, so I didn't see any reason to cull mine. I don't think that mine is Coryza though--if it is then it must not be a real bad case. All of my birds seem healthy and happen except for the occasional sneeze and crusty nose. Most likely mine is Mycoplasma. That's not good either, but from what I've read the symptoms aren't as bad as Coryza.
I ordered the Tylan-50 injectible from Jefferslivestock.com. As far as injecting is---it's not easy for me because I'm not very experienced with injections. It gets easier though. You don't go into the muscle--just under the skin on the back of their necks. Get the 3/4 inch 22 gauge needles.
If the bird's nose gets crusty get some VetRX and a q-tip and rub it around its nostrils to remove the crust. The VetRX is suppose to help them breathe better. You can get that at Jeffers too.
If the sick birds have already come in contact with the rest of your flock then you can bet that everybody has got it. Some just don't get sick from certain illnesses--like they are immune or something.
Good luck!!
