There is 7 in the pen. They have a new pile of goodies to dig threw each day. Generally it's for oatmeal, bugs or fired meal worms. I give grass clippings, weeds, leaves, fresh grass clumps with dirt clumps and without. I know it's not a ton of space but once their coop is finished they will...

So the stuff I have is the oxytetracycline my only trouble is this bag is huge I have 4 sick chicks and this tells me to mix the whole bag up and it will treat 1000 swine! Any suggestions?
I did talk to them she said she has seen it once in the store and she have me the vet rx and an antibiotic. I was concerned to use the antibiotic until I did some more research because of all the warnings on the back. I forget the name of it at the moment
