Mycoplasma possibility

[jay873]

I recently rehomed some salmon favorelle hens and 2 roosters from a guy and they had a pretty good set up. They all looked healthy. We’re all very active no sneezing or anything because of this, I didn’t think there was any need for me to quarantine them. So a couple days later, I noticed one of the roosters had bubbles in just one of his eyes, but he wasn’t the rooster that I put with my main flock. I researched what bubbles in the eyes could mean and mycoplasma G is what came up. None of my existing birds are sick, There’s no sneezing, coughing, sluggishness, nothing and none of them appear to have swollen eyes, but I have noticed a drop an egg production. It’s only been about five days since I added them, but I was getting three eggs a day from five hens and now I’m getting like two, but I don’t know if that’s from stress from the new hens or if it’s mycoplasma.

I have some pretty expensive eggs hatching and I don’t want to expose those chickens to any potential diseases cause I will eventually plan on selling hatching eggs and everything and I know the mycoplasma can be transmitted through eggs so I was going to just cull my whole flock but with no other birds being sick, I’m kind of second-guessing if it is Mycoplasma

What could I do to know for sure? And would you suggest just culling and starting over?

Where do you live? You could have one tested (swab):

How are they doing now? Bubbles in the eyes can be signs of other things, too, such as a different respiratory, ear, or bacterial infection, or just allergies even. So hopefully it just wound up being one of those. If not, MG can be treated but sometimes symptoms can flare up again.

Tylosin an antibiotic helpful with MG symptoms. Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. Here is one place where to order it:

1/16 teaspoon makes a cup.

I ended up just giving the flock away to a lady at work who wanted to eat them, it just wasn’t worth the risk when I plan on breeding chickens later this year.
