Is it contagious?

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Is it contagious?

Yes. If Raven has it, then all your other birds have it too. They may not show symptoms though. Did you quarantine Dally when you got her?

Is it contagious?

Yes its very contagious even to other species most people get it from bringing in new birds from other people even quarenteeing them doesnt work as its also spread through hatching eggs

I thought this but the bubbles are only in one eye.

I have chickens with MG and it almost always starts in just one eye, sometimes stays only in one eye on some chickens and both eyes in others. I rinse the eye as suggested and I apply Terramycin to the eye area and see good improvement. If they don't improve quickly, I do oral Tylan 50 for three days. Usually does the trick!

 

[PippinTheChicken]

Ok. I'm starting to panic now.
How can I know if she has it? What are the other symptoms?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

And if it's not affecting anyone, can I just add that respiratory treatment in their water and continue as normal with them?

I don't know anything about it, but praying for you

Many of those products you listed are herbal oils and treatments, and you can save money, and just get some Tylosin (Tylan) or Tiamulin (Denagard) from your vet. Those are antibiotics that specifically treat MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum.) MG is a chronic respiratory disease of chickens, and can make carriers of the flock. It is with them for life, but certain antibiotics can treat symptoms. Most people cull severely sick birds, and close their flocks. It is a common respiratory disease, can be spread through hatching eggs and direct contact with affected chickens. Luckily it only stays alive for about 3 days on equipment and facilities. Read this article and do some research on your own as well, since there is plenty online:
