Hi all,
My husband and I have only had our hens for about a year and a half now. We got a few new ones at a flock swap which seem to have brought CRD (we think) with them. We had two hens that have been with us for a while develop a cough, runny nostrils, sleepiness, loss of appetite, raspy breathing and reduced egg production. We treated our flock with tetracycline in their water but one hen needed more. We've given her 1 1/2 cc of Tylan 50 injectable for five days now and she's still has a gurgling sound when she breathes and isn't drinking anything. Two quick questions: Is she still contagious to our other hens? We've had her quarantined this whole time. What else can we do for her now that we're at the end of the recommended dosing for Tylan? Any and all advice is appreciated! Thanks! Kathie
