[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1149550, member: 19938"] I was wondering if any of you raise chickens and can give me some advise. We keep just a small flock as pets and for eggs. They are locked in an open front coup at night, and free range during the day. I have some type of respiratory infection hitting just one bird at a time every few months. The last one affected I went through 3 different antibiotics, with the last 2 being injectable. She would improve with each course of treatment, then always relapse. Finally put her down. Today, another one ill. Started injectable Tylan this AM, but she was so bad this evening we had to put her down. The coup, water and feed dishes have been disinfected. I suspect that it is infectious Coryza. Any other ideas or suggestions of what to do for them?? I know this will sound crazy to some....... These are pets, and shooting them is really hard to do when they need to be put down. Any suggestions for that also? (Other than chopping their heads off, which is even harder.) Can they be gassed with something? Injected with something? :hide: [/QUOTE]
