How i can treat this disease and help me to know the cure of that disease

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like it could be dry fowl pox. Maybe @Eggcessive and @TwoCrows can add some comments.

One of my hens is either sneezing or coughing. I got some Terra-vet 10 but only gives dosage for 25 gals of water. I only have 4 chickens. Any suggestions for dosage of a gal of water.

The 800 mg dose = 1.5 tablespoons.

My girls have the pox now. Sorry for your loss. I have lost 2. But it doesn't kill. It is 2ndary infections. Some quit eating or drinking. I watch for too much resting, empty crops, eye watering or goop,; that sort of thing. Pick up birds if you can to "heft" them for weight loss and feel crops. MOST of all boost immune system of 'email all. I use coconut oil in food about 1x per week, garlic fresh crushed in water or powdered in food or water, oregano flakes on occasion, and a Tbs per gallon apple cider vinegar with mother about 1 x per week. Plain yogurt helps with probiotics ( other source a powder in h2o), electrolytes too. There is a recipe for own electrolytes for chickens online. This sounds complex but you can make batch of most and fridge them. I have about 30 birds and most caught it. Isolating sick ones is a logistic nightmare but honestly you can save most of them. Get help if you can for chores. I once force fed and watered two young ones with this for 2 wks. Only had 6 birds then. They are 7 yrs old now!! God bless you. Take a breath...

When other stuff fails please don't be afraid of antibiotics when necessary to save lives.

Now, I have an injured chicken, lavender Orp roo I hope to rehome Soon. But...he caught himself on gate and has a drooping wing. Can't figure injury by feel, lack of experience with this. Intend to just tie wing to body for awhile and see how it works. Any suggestions??

I didnt vaccinate them for almost 3 or 4 months can this entertain this pox?

Did I miss this, how old
are they now ? I have read that if you vaccinate when they already have the pox (but maybe you haven't seen evidence yet) the vaccine will kill. This is why I missed the vaccination window. This isn't your fault. Mosquitos probably infected your chickens. They then infect each other. But you can't always keep up with the disease. Empty all open waters at night and use Dunk on the water. You can get the Dunk donuts at Lowes. It is Microbial that stops the breeding cycle of Mosquitos.
