Wild:  What type of bator do you use?  I have been tryin for several months on diff breeds of eggs with no luck.  I have 2 diff roo in 2 diff pens and NONE of their eggs are fertile... .  Do they make a Viagra for roos?  Any advice from anyone would be appreciated.

I use a brinsea eco 20. Trim butt fluff, on the birds, check for mites, and are you seeing the boys do their deed?

Welcome! I lived on the dreaded Brawley School Rd for YEARS.

That is where we are! Not so bad now, they have expanded it to four lanes, it is a speedway now!

Thank you so much!!!
I sent my husband to TSC at opening and the only thing they had was duremiecin (not sure how to spell he just said it over phone) and he should be back momentarily, It's an antibiotic, mainly used for pneumonia, so hopefully it helps.
Even though there is nothing coming from the eyes, she seems to have trouble seeing. Her pupils keep dialating and shrinking like seconds apart and when I hold out the dried meal worms or any other treats it's like she doesn't see it.

Which vet school are you refering to, so I can call?

THANK YOU!!!

. Duramycin is a good start.

IT'S WAY WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!

I got Duramycin for CRD, but I am thinking it's Coryza because one chicken has bubbles on her eyes.
I went through and did a closer look and as the morning progesses I only have FOUR chickens WITHOUT symptoms!

It's clear that it came from the 2 golden comets I got at WCA and this is going to be the hardest life lesson I've ever learned on quaranting!

The two comets are in bad shape, eyes closed, mouths hanging open, combs are very light. They are still in there separate pen with the 2 production reds. The reds are acting fine and have no snot or eye problems, but their combs seem pretty light. I'm afraid to let them out since they've been with the comets the whole time so those 4 are together. Duramycin in the water, but no one drinking and I don't think it helps with Coryza. When/who do I cull?

Second issue: All my original chickens besides 4 have symptoms of runny noses. One has little clear bubbles in her eye which is what made me think Coryza, but she's still running around eating and clucking. My original chickens (including the one with the eye) and all with the runny nose are in their pen with the duramycin in their water.

The four with no symptoms currently are out running the back yard because I don't know what to do with them. They have a separate water container in the yard and I put a little duramycin in it just to be sure.

My original chicken I posted about this morning isn't looking any better and she's in my bathtub. I gave her some duramycin via eye dropper so hoping I see an improvement but if it's coryza don't know that I will. Calling vet school you posted about now.

QUESTIONS:

How do I know which to cull and I don't want to do it if I don't have to (By the way there are 2 out of the entire flock that I won't cull)

What is the treatment for Coryza?

Do I have the birds separated correctly?


Thank you in advance for any help. I've been keeping chickens for about 6 months now and I'm learning a lot of things the hard way. I really appreciate everyone's knowledge, always living in the city I know next to nothing about farming/livestock.

By the way, is coryza infectious to humans?
In one of the things it says it can come from E. Coli and I have 2 little kids.
My 21 month old has had a really bad runny nose for over a week, but I don't know that it's related just being a paranoid mom!

I don't believe so.

Thank you!
Can I use this on top of the duramycin I put out or go take their water away?
Does this help with the coryza too or just the respiratory?
Do you know where I would buy it, TSC this morning said all they had was the duramycin.

Once again, I really appreciate all of your guys' knowledge and insight.

Looks like it needs to be bought online. I just googled respiratory disease in chickens.
Finish out the Duramycin...see how that goes.

Sorry you are dealing with this.
If you keep these birds. You will have to close your flock. None in...non out.
