*UPDATE*
I know this is a long overdue update but the Tylan 50 injection worked great. Though I lost a lot of birds in the process due to the disease I saved the rest. They seemed to clear up the next day! BUT I continued for the remaining 2 days to make sure it was out of their system. During this I also cleaned out the coop, sprinkling PDZ down and putting shaving on top of it as well as hay on top of the shaving. This was the first time using PDZ and i HIGHLY recomend it, the coop isnt as "stuffy" as it was before, it works wonders.

What is PDZ?

I bought it at tractor supply, it's used for horse stalls to kill urine/ammonia and nasty oders. it's nontoxic and nonhazardous for animals.
