Thank you, my hope is someone else can learn from our mistakes and maybe save their baby.

Oh, I am very sorry for your loss. Sorry about the confusion over the TiaGard dosage. I had put it in post 2 in the links. The dosage is 2 ml per quart or 8 ml per gallon of water, sweetened to make it more palatable, and that will be okay for any size or age chicken.

Thank you, we just got confused reading the formula and worried because our babies range from 1lb to maybe 5lbs. You were very clear on the dosage, we should have just done what you wrote.

For future reference, which is better the tiagard or tylosin?

Tiagard treats Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG) in poultry, whereas Tylosin treats a variety of poultry bacterial infections in poultry including MG.
It most instances it would be best to use Tylosin first.
Sometimes it's best to get a necropsy performed to find out what exactly you're dealing with.
Just for your info; MG is highly contagious to other birds. Have you seen any other birds showing similar symptoms?

No, all the other birds seem healthy except the one with foam in the eye. But even she has great energy, appetite, and no noticeable sneezing or wheezing. But we do have lots of wild birds and wild turkeys and cranes that wonder our property. We are assuming she picked something up from one of them. We just started letting them out to free range a little bit the last couple weeks.
