No I don't. At this point, I'm winging it at best

Hang in there, chickens are pretty tough. I'm finding that out with the one that survived the dogs Sunday.

I hope they get better soon. I know how frustrating it is when you aren't sure what is wrong and nothing you try works.
He was walking much better by the time I got home. Gave him some vitamins mixed with water by dropper last night and this morning. Have water and food in his cage with him so it is available when he wants it.

Thank you. Yeah I agree they are very resilient. Hopefully they can kick this little respiratory thing soon. They seem to have a "cold".
Also, one of my slw seems to be gasping for air every now and then and sometimes seems to sneeze. They seem to have a runny nose as well. I've been giving tylan 50 for 4 days now and the rooster's runny nose is better but the hens are still lethargic. They are eating and drinking so I guess that's a good thing. Anyone else have a clue what this could be? Thanks

Gasping for air isn't a good sign. I would add vit.,probiotics,and electrolights. It sounds like respertory issue. You can get vetrx at your feed store it's for respertory problems. I would continue the antibiotics. The sooner the better. Do you see improvement? Reading your post makes me think it's getting worse. Pam

the gangly teenager stage is anywhere bare, like theyre picking at eachother? If so, You might try giving them some enrichment, or more space. Theyll probly bathe if you give em some dirt/sand in a tub, if you havent before now, be warned its adorable!
