Yeah, the liquid is not supposed to do so well in the water like the powder. That is why I asked, not sure what @Gammas Bearded Babies has. May have missed that.Usually TSC carries the liquid Tylan. It’s generally called Tylosin in powdered format I believe? I’m not sure how well the liquid Tylan does in water? I’ve soaked pieces of bread and fed every bird but otherwise I inject the liquid or syringe feed it to them (forcefully)
I think they are worried about improper use of antibiotics, bugs building resistance and becoming super bugs.I'm very curious now what the laws on antibiotics are. I used to buy my tetracycline in bags for $5. When it disappeared I was told it was only available by prescription now...and the stuff I buy does require a prescription now. So how is it legal to sell a small bottle of it as terramycin powder for $30 something but not an equal amount under a different brand name for $5?
away. Searched for standing water today. Can't help my neighbors or leaves holding water. Supposed to rain again tomorrow. 
lol
Did JoJo ever exhibit signs of paralysis, as you'd expect with classic presentation of Mareks? Just wondering as 16 weeks of age onwards is when Lymphoid Leukosis tends to affect birds.I know! I was also right that JoJo would use they/them pronouns he had both testes and an ovary. There is no mention of bursas, just yellow nodule tumors and nuerotropism. JoJo was almost a year old—I hatched them at the middle of February last year, but he hasn’t been normal since about 16 weeks. He was a really sweet bird that got weirder and weirder, but never seemed to be sick. Just strange. He only crowed a few times at about 8 months, he always ate but never really got solidly built like Spider. I wasn’t sure what to do with him because I was pretty sure there was something wrong but he never presented as sick other than his strange chicken behaviors. No one picked on him either.
As for Nohope, he is really strong and can launch himself right out of his box or your arms…but he can’t walk. His legs are fully functional though. He uses them and his wings when he wants to be near me or needs to change position. He basically falls forward like he’s too heavy when he tries walking. It’s really weird. But he has a healthy appetite, drinks his water…and today I let him get some sun and eat some grass. He’s not emaciated like JoJo, but he’s lost some weight. He really loves French fries and breadAnd he ate two eggs with Greek yogurt, herbs, poultry cell, and corn meal in them plus a bunch of his regular food. His comb shows occasional signs he’s lacking full oxygenation which I’m sure is indicative of growing tumors
but it’s just so slow and abnormal in its presentation.
I will look up that other crazy long named virus too, I’m unfamiliar with it! I’m already preparing to lose my other birds that are double recessive like my white d’Anver Oliver and the new bobtails I acquired :-( Breeders don’t always vaccinate so I’m sure they aren’t and apparently bobtail coloration is recessive white with select albinism…which just sounds like weak genetics :-( Maybe I’ll get lucky and they are stronger than I think, but it’s better for me to prepare for the worst. Ugh, it’s so depressing and makes me feel like a terrible failure as a chicken mom
Think I'd dose the entire flock with the Tylan you have until you can get an alternative I agree with ChicksnMore though. Any of the broad spectrum antibiotics are better if you don't know what the infection is. You can also try doxycycline and oxytetracycline.
I have the injection Tylan50. But was told on the ER thread to give it orally rather than as injection.
I'll Google these - are they websites?
I have quite a few things on hand but more basic stuff than antibiotics I guess. And more baby chick stuff than adult stuff as I am a chick-a-holic? Lol?
Not that I've noticed. Lizzy isnt...she opens beak.couple times wide but I thought that means they are adjusting their crop like they all do. Cuz from time to time they have always done that. But not excessively.
His was really bad...Daisy not so much. He did cram himself in the dust bath with 3 others already in there.
Yes, Poultry DVM is sort of like WebMD for poultry (http://www.poultrydvm.com/), and Mike's Falconry simply lists the types of illnesses certain meds are best for so you know which meds to select. He is able to sell them because Pigeon and Falconry supplies are not regulated under the agriculture rules that chickens are. Not many folks eat pigeon or hawk, so they are less restrictive.
Mine have all had fowl pox and recovered, so thank goodness the mosquitos are just annoying now... really REALLY annoying. If nothing else the chooks are not getting good sleep and look all bedraggled. My husband makes an awesome fly repellent out of vinegar and infusion oils. Thinking I should broadcast spray that in run pre-dusk. The trade winds are supposed to kick into high gear so hopefully it will blow a bunch away
make them fish food
