Tylosin or Tiagard for mycoplasma?

Also do I treat the whole flock or just those with symptoms? I'm so sick over this. Had a healthy flock until I started adding adult hens from a farm but did have them in quarantine but apparently still too close

Are you certain it's Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG)? The reason I ask is that Tiagard treats only MG in chickens whereas Tylan treats a variety of respiratory diseases including MG.

I've researched all the symptoms and my roo after adding the new hens not only had raspy crow, weakness, puffy eye but girls are sneezing and coughing. Originally thought it was worms since it was just coughing/honking , stretching neck but his symptoms and others now sneezing I infected everyone despite being in separate quarters. My beautiful healthy flock that I've spoiled, loved, free ranged are now diseased due to getting thyme from an unhealthy farm who sells and buys chickens. How do I notify someone about that farm also.? I thought I'm saving these girls also from this farm ( he grabs them viciously and broke the one girls toe so I dealt with that also)

How long have you had them? Did you recently get them or add new birds to your existing flock? It sounds like the new ones exposed the others. Respiratory diseases can show up within days to weeks of exposure to sick birds or carriers who are not showing symptoms. I would only treat the ones who have symptoms if possible. MG, coryza, ILT, and infectious bronchitis are common ones. Sorry that you are dealing with this.

I've had them about 6 weeks now. My one hen I brought inside last night which I usually don't do. It's so hot here and she's having watery breath sounds. She's one of my favorite hens, always the best mom. Has hatched and cared for about 5 different sets of chick's, including ducklings. She's amazing. I didn't want her to die uncomfortable. I'm so sad
Her breath is watery sounding and I am lying awake just so sad for her, not sure how/if I can help her at this point

Also, there is this powder which has doxy and tylosin would be better?
