Not clear how to start a new thread. I haven't been on this website in a while because I forgot my password.I just had to give it time to work it out and set it again. I have chicks that are 8 weeks old now. Last week somehow I went through a coccidiosis nightmare and I learned a lot. I used cayenne and garlic ,chopped garlic that is, in their feed as well as Corid in the water. They cleared up beautifully but now somehow all 45 of my birds are developing some kind of respiratory issue with congestion and sneezing. Considering going to get Tylan50 at the feed store and 22 gauge needles. I just don't even know what the disease is. I have looked up everything from infectious bronchitis to fowl pox and my birds don't look anything like this. The eight week old chick that I noticed first was sneezing mucusy and just kind of rough feathers look and huddled. It is gaining energy and clearing up, but it's been kind of a nightmare the past couple of weeks. How do I know for sure my flock is not affected for life ? And if I don't know what I'm dealing with how do I treat it? I did have one bird died 3 weeks ago. I wanted to get a necropsy done but it was going to be $300!
