You're just a little chick Babe, wait until you get to 300+

But back on topic.

Do keep us updated peewee_lane. I hope you find someone to diagnose and treat them :!:

Thank you Babe and to all the rest, tomorrow I'm going vet hunting, one vet said they would 'give it a try'!

I will keep you all posted, thanks for your words x

Just get some meds from them. Enough to treat all your birds !

Hi guys, just an update.

Chicken still poorly, now indoors under heat lamp, she drank water from a shot glass today with 1 eye dropper of ACV, and also had some warm oats.

Her eye is terrible though, I tried to clean it with warm water. It was completely closed over.

VET- said he would give seeing the chicken 'try'. He doesnt have tylan, but does have baytril.

Hi everyone, vet gave Meredith eye drops and Baytril, enough for the rest too.

Brilliant they should get better now. Let us knowhow they are doing

Take one bird to the vet, ask for Tylan and they should give you enough for others (which will be plenty for the future too). If they are that ignorant with poultry, just ask them. If mycoplasma, should clear it up no problems.

Don't forget, tis' the season for sneezes and wheezes, so expect some. A few of mine are sneezing and coughing at the moment. Seems to go through them all then they are ok. Feed them garlic and ACV, plus a poultry drink, and maybe some soluble vitamins to boost their immune system.

Have you wormed them recently? Just a thought.

All the best.

Thanks Monty Tom, I did not know it was normal to go through the coughs and sneezes, there is two of the rest sneezing alright, and I was worried, but feel a little bit better now. The vet does not stock Tylan or any other name it goes by, but had Baytril and gave me enough for the rest. Only thing is, he gave it to me in 5 individual needles that I have to squirt into their mouth... now how am I to catch the rascals and administer it?!

I have the ACV and am going to investigate more on garlic now because I've seen it several times mentioned in posts!

Monty Tom, I did worm them recently, are they prone to illness after worming? I used Verm-X.
