Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)

Please do not rehome any more birds...ever.
It is not right to rehome birds when you have disease in your flock.

I do not know this is what they have. I have just been researching in general. I found new home based on recommendations here on BYC. And I told the new person about the sneezing.

Best not to speculate then.

It was recommended here to rehome him because 1) we didn't know he was possibly infected and 2) you were wondering if you could just raise him alone which we said no because chickens are flock animals. If you ever run into that problem again ( which you shouldn't because until you know for sure you're birds don't have MG no more chickens should be brought into your flock) then you will need to cull if you don't want to keep him.

I had posted few weeks ago regarding my 8 wk old silkie sneezing, lethargic, isolating. Still eating and drinking as normal though.
She completely fine the last week or two.
The horomonal cockrel left for new home yesterday. I believe he was stressing her out badly. They used to be very close then he decided to torment her constantly. When I was able to separate them for a few hours off and on she would seemingly do better.
I also got them moved to their new open air coop/run. And we had a large storm last night.
2 out of 3 silkies are sneezing this morning but otherwise eating and drinking just as normal.
Could this be MG with the coming and going of symptoms and the recent stress of move, changes within flock, etc?
IF SO, I read here regarding an herb known as Meniran herbs (Phyllanthus Niruri L.).
Has anyone ever heard of this or tried it?

Did you ever try the Meniran herbs (Phyllanthus Niruri L.)? I also came across that article in my research and then found you already pasted it here at BYC. I found liquid "Stonebreaker" or "Chanca Piedra" (which are Phyllanthus Niruri) on Amazon and iHerb. Thought I might give it a try.

No...they all ended up being fine once the polish cockrel was re-homed.
