respiratory followed by neurological symptoms

[april parsons]

i rescued a cream leg bar hen this winter who has been happy and healthy and well adjusted with my 4 other hens ( all 2yo and vaccinated as chicks). Every one has been laying and healthy all spring. I just added 4 new hens- all healthy appearance- 2 week quarantine- they have been together 2 weeks now. One of the New hens (silver laced wyandot -young )developed a cough/wet respiration no discharge- i removed her treated with Tylan 50 she stopped the cough. My leg bar just developed the wet respiration so she is quarantined and on day 3 of antibiotics with improvement though still poor appetite. Now the Wyandot is displaying neurological symptoms- she walks a bit then is a little wobbly and her left wing will go out. - She lays down and proceeds to eat grass with no distress. If i approach she is able to stand and walk away. Any ideas of suggestions ? I introduced illness to my flock - i was thinking Merak's/vs contagious bronchitis-( stools range from loose large brown/black to bright green....The Tylan is definately helpful with the respiratory issue

Tylan works well against mycoplasma or MG symptoms. Infectious bronchitis usually causes repeated sneezing every few minutes, and spreads through the flock over several weeks. Sometimes it is hard to tell which you are seeing without getting one tested. Hopefully, the wyandotte does not have Mareks, but time will tell. I would watch for coccidiosis in the new birds, and signs include runny poops, lethargy, poor appetite, and weakness. That is treated with Corid for 5-7 days in the water, 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon of water. Down the road, if you lose one of the birds, be sure and find out how to get a necropsy done by your state vet. That is the best way to diagnose Mareks, as well as respiratory diseases.
