I use the denagard since I believe I have mycoplasma, been dealing with it for a while and suppose to treat them every month. Then I realized it had been 2 months since I treated them cause I was worried about how the chicks would handle the meds. The outbreak began and I lost 3 hens and 3 chicks. grrrr not a single roo died, just hens
think I may have had a secondary infection brought in by the wind storms we have been having....been giving Baytril to the ones that look to be on deaths door and that has done it for me. Just annoying to have to individually dose and administer the baytril. Wierd cause some of the birds got over it real easy with the denagard and some needed the baytril. Nearly lost my only phoenix hen, I would have cried like a baby if I had lost her.
The ones I had that died looked fine and within 12 hours would die without advanced warning. the ones that have survived (except my phoenix) had tons of eye and nasal discharge with sneezing. The ones that died just started breathing funny and 12 hours later they were gone. I am breathing a sigh of relief now cause it looks like the last few sick ones are improving each day. now just to see if that last chick survives the ordeal. lemme know how the duramycin works for you...and do they drink it good? I get concerned that the chickens hate the taste of the denagard and I feel like I battle more cause then I get sick, dehydrated chickens instead of just sick chickens.
