I think it's up to you to be honest. All mine are much better but a rasp comes back here or there! I culled zero. But I don't know if you plan to sell them or if you do if they infect others. Of course that's my opinion.

I Wouldn't sell any of the originals but if there's a vaccine or something that I can give to the new ones coming in that I can give them to keep them from contracting it that would be much better just as a preventative

I used Rylan on mine and vacc them twice.everyone is ok.I didn't loose but only one out if 75.still don't know if it was coryza. If it comes back I going to have them tested.my birds didn't have any bad smell them .stay in touch. Keep us up dated.good luck

So far I have noticed the puffy eyes nose drainage and wheezing but no weird smells .I did the tylan 200 and some still have the puffiness in the eyes and one has one eye shut completely but I haven't heard any wheezing or sneezing and haven't really noticed any more drainage I hope I was wrong and it was not coryza but I'll will watch them a couple more months while my other chicks gain the size they need to join the adult flock if anything recurs or continues I will definatly have one tested but I will keep you guys updated thanks
