Sick chickens. Tylan 50 gave. ???

[Riley Ranch]

Today I had a hen that was kinda coughing and she died in my arms. I just got 10 new babies from another lady that sells chickens last week. I suppose maybe the respiratory issue came from there. My Flock is almost a year old and never had an issue. After crying and began reading and calling feed stores. Tractor supply helped me. I bought Tylan 50 injectable and just finished giving my old flock the medicine orally. I need to get some 1cc needles to do the injectable. I couldn't find needles today. I did it while they were roosting. It was actually very easy to do. I'm now going out to the other coop and medicated the new hens. Tomorrow I'm so disfecting everything. I'm hoping this stops what is going around. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Without testing, it would be very hard to know if your hen died from respiratory illness - if you still have her body, it would be a good idea to send her to your state lab.

Do you see any symptoms of respiratory illness like sneezing, coughing, wheezing, runny nose, watery eyes, facial swelling, lethargy or going off feed?
While antibiotics can help with secondary infections, they won't prevent your birds from becoming ill or being carriers if you are dealing with a respiratory disease. Personally I would not treat any birds unless they become sick and show signs of illness.

fwiw - Tylan50 can be given orally or by injection.

The easiest way to treat bumblefoot is to never have a case of it. Large, big, fat, heavy weight or overweight hens and roosters, especially those unable or unwilling to fly down from the roost are prime candidates. Especially those chickens who only have a hard or hard packed surface to land on.

I cleaned everything I could today. I monitored all of them today. Everyone seems just great. Bennie my new rooster seems to wind easy after chasing a few hens. I stayed in the coop at roost time listened to everyone. They seem fine. I'm baffled. I wish I would have saved her to have her examined. Thanks for helping me. I did order the soluable Tylan and VetRx but I'm probably going to shelf it for now.
