Hen acting weird

[TwitchysChicks]

Yes. She had nothing to eat and drink when I felt it. I massaged it and it went down.

Shes also opening her eye a little bit

That's good you were able to massage it and it went down.
All you can do is keep working on it.

Its definitely CRD. Janis did that nasty cough sound like a phlegmy cough. Another is sneezing. Bringing the scale over tonight to weigh anyone who sounds like crap and making a list

If I have to treat the whole flock, could I use either of these. Or treat separately with oral tylan 50 and keep a log?

Do they stink because of sour crop?
From what I understand Infectious Coryza has a rotten smell, someone once described like rotten meat or roadkill, it would be a very strong foul odor.
Generally with IC you will also see facial swelling with pus.

Symptoms of respiratory diseases can be similar so IC is a possibility. Mycoplasma, Infectious Bronchitis and ILT are fairly common diseases too.

I would only treat birds that are symptomatic. If you suspect Mycoplasma (CRD) then Tylan50 can be used, just give the correct dose as previously posted.
Denagard is used to treat Mycoplasma - most people that have an affected flock administer that 3 days out of each month during times of stress or when birds become symptomatic.

Infectious Bronchitis and ILT are viruses, so do not respond to antibiotics, but sometimes antibiotics are needed to fight secondary infections caused by illness. Tylan50 would be my drug of choice for those as well.

Infectious Coryza is bacterial and can be treated with Tylan50, sometimes a sulfa drug may also be needed depending on how severe it is.

The "cyclines" used to be commonly used for respiratory illnesses, but seem to have lost some of their effectiveness. If those are the only thing you can get, then they would be worth a try, but since you have Tylan50, that is what I would use.
