Gapeworm?

How many days should the ill chickens be treated?

I did acquire LA200

Oxytetracycline is usually given for 7 days orally. I hope it helps.

Putting this here so it isn't lost. Papers disappear in my house.

12/21 birds treated:
Raven
Jacque
Owlette
Easter Egger pullet with yellow/gray/red feathering (band this bird!)

Tomorrow I'm thinking names will be added. This was a child's job to triage while I was trying to treat the ill and feed Bunny.

More bird victims triaging in.
Suppose this runs through entire flock?

Is testing with your state lab an option?

It is always best to get testing. Oh course with the holidays, that will be more complicated.

With the more becoming sick, are you noticing sneezing every few minutes as the most common symptom? That is very common with infectious bronchitis, a virus. It is the most common respiratory disease in chickens, and the mildest. But if they have bubbles in eyes, swelling around an eye, it is more likely MG. But they (MG and IB) can occur together as well. Testing or a necropsy on a very sick bird could show if there is one or more diseases.
