I appreciate all your help. It says June 4th delivery. Is that too late?…

We were at 20 a day from our 32. We’re down to 12 but yesterday was 16. Our rooster has it now. His poor crow makes me so sad.

Some of the first birds we noticed to be coughing/sneezing seem to be foraging per usual and are laying eggs. Their cough isn’t as frequent but now they have horrible diarrhea.

Did yours spread in the flock? Mine is spreading quickly.

Is this the exact product you’d recommend? Is their egg withdrawal? I was looking at AmoxTy but assumed because of the amoxicillin there would be withdrawal. I’ve read the Tylosin has no withdrawal time but not sure if it’s helpful in this case. I’ll need to get it ordered and hope for quick...

The diarrhea was noted this morning from the few birds that first showed symptoms. It’s pretty bad… electrolytes is a great recommendation. Would you think something like Save A Chick or Rooster Booster? A friend suggested Keifer for the probiotic properties.

This morning, majority of my birds and coughing and sneezing and the first several who were noted now have audible diarrhea :( Thank you for the link! Clicking now.

Some seem to be bouncing back while others just started sneezing/coughing today! I have an older bird who has surprised me every day by remaining alive. I don’t know if that’s related or not. It’s been the last 5-7 days. She just stands still with her eyes closed and tail down. Not crop, poop is...

I do not shower and change clothes between interactions. I have one pair of “coop boots” that stay on our property. the chicks are moved using a Rubbermaid tote that it solely for their use. Never been stored with our older birds or used for other purposes. They’re in an elevated brooder coop...

I have had 8 chicks since May 9th who have been totally separated. Just the other day I started giving them grass time in what we call our quarantine coop. So it’s out in the yard where the big birds can see them and get used to them but no shared feeders and the bird birds can’t get in that...

Gosh I wouldn’t have imagined it would develop so fast! Ugh. What a dumb move. So treat symptoms with VETRX? I heavily cleaned coops yesterday and replaced all bedding and roost materials. I gave them a water dose of Corrid because I was so afraid. I never had used it but had it on hand. Is...

We’re still here in East TN raising layers in our backyard in the middle of town! We’ve rotated out several roosters but think we’ve finally landed a good one. Our flock is currently 31 layers, 1 rooster, and 8 chicks. In the last few years we’ve hatched 2 groups from 2 new mamas. They did well...

I do not observe any discharge. Crops aren’t rock hard but do not resemble the sour crop/impacted crop we’ve dealt with in the past with other birds. My only “leads” are we gave them some brown rice last night that had sat on the stove overnight. I forgot to pack it up for leftovers so we...

we came home this morning after errands to sneezing chickens with very strange sounding calls. Identified 4/32 to be effected- possibly more. They’re quarantined while I figure this out. Combs seem red, we saw this each in nesting box within last 3 days. Speckled Sussex, black Australorp, Easter...

We have around 30 chickens. I was told to feed each laying hen 1 lb per week. They free range around the yard and compost pile 2-4 hours a day dependent on weather, otherwise they’re in their run where the can dig and scratch and eat their feee freely. It ends up being 35lb a week. In the...
