    Baby chick eye infection???

    I've got some eye infections and also some sneezers right now. My gut tells me to treat the whole flock, but I'm worried about what antibiotics would do to healthy chickens. Anything?

    I am looking for poultry exhibitions/shows in SE Texas. I'm between Houston and Beaumont, and all I have found are livestock shows with meat pens, no other breeds.
