We got 4 chicks from Tractor Supply who were doing great. Thenaround 7 weeks old we got 3 pullers (also 7 weeks) from a “hatchery”. I didn’t know about quarantining them and likely couldn’t have anyway properly. Well day two (a week ago) one of the new ones started sneezing. No bubbly eyes. Then a second of the new ones started sneezing and sounding raspy and mouth breathing. Now one of the first four is very lethargic but not sneezing, has watery but not bubbly eyes sometimes but not always. Now today a second of the old ones is sneezing constantly and wheezing and mouth breathing and is slightly lethargic. All are still eating some.
I called the lady I got them from and let her know on day two, and called back again and she said she’s seen it in her birds. And basically now admitted to having mycoplasma in birds earlier in the year as well as Coryza. I’m so angry at her and also myself for not knowing.
Does this sound like MG or something else? Is bubbly eyes always present. I don’t want to cull them all and start over. But also don’t want a diseased flock and never be able to get new chicks until these pass.
What does this sound like and what would you do?
