I have officially decided I am going to start a story thread. Experiences under the influence. LOL I was talking Wingstone down and ended up on Ebay and the world wide web myself last night. I had to call Sally for confessional this morning.

Quote: Wild birds can carry it & if they played in the shavings at all, then that's all it took. I have treated chicks at just a couple days old before. I would make sure they are all eating & drinking OK before treating them.

Quote: what is the shelf life of this stuff,,,,might keep some on hand....it has been almost 5 years since I put up the first coop and I have never had to treat for anything like this,,,i admit i am a little OCD with the coops,,,hubby says they live cleaner than he does...
I've had the same bottle for over a year now. Takes very little & lasts forever (even when you spill it like I do).

Keep an eye out for your eggs. They went out this morning!!!

I got three new hens. One has a foamy eye, the other a runny nose. They are all sneezing, coughing, and somewhat lethargic. Don't know how I didn't notice this when I got them, but it was probably because I was running on no sleep at the time.

Anyway, I am really hoping that they didn't infect my flock, because they were put in with them briefly, and if it is Infectious Bronchitis, then it could have just spread through the air.

I have moved my flock to a new part of the yard that the hens didn't touch, and given them new everything (bowls, hay, etc), I have moved the new hens a few miles away to my grandparents' for observation (I dont wanna risk the air infection thing) and I am feeding my flock yogurt to maybe aid somehow. I am just so worried.
Is there anything else I can do, other then taking them to the vet (just walking in is like 40 dollars up here)?

Sulmet is not available under that name for some reason, I keep cheaper versions in my chicken med cabinet. At some point I will take pics and explain everything I keep in it and why. We have done a lot of research on the diary thread and ozexpat knows his meds from profession so he has been Godsend to that thread! We even came across a much better cocci med. I can share with you later or if someone who is also on that thread with us can paste it here that would be cool too! Anyone who incubates is always welcome to join the thread, always some great discussion about health hatching and so on! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/704328/diary-notes-air-cell-detatched-shipped-eggs/18510 that is also the cocci med link!
