He never wrote back but I don't have either tetracycline or tylan. I only have the tetroxy. I'd have to order anything other than that type of antibiotic up here. And the tylan is $50! Yikes! If it is MG, I read that you can or even should contact someone in your area for a blood test for confirmation. I also heard that someone up here in VT was able to get a guy from the Ag department to come and look at their sick chicken. Albeit he wore shoes that he never cleaned between visits to farms(!) So is there a way you can easily and cheaply confirm this diagnosis? I won't cull this guy unless I know it absolutely has to be done. All of my hens except the 4 mo old pullet are old (over 4). It's not like I'm getting tons of eggs here or relying on these girls to produce. They are simply pets and the occasional eggs are a bonus.
