    Tylan200 Dosage and Treatment Period

    I didn't take any to the vet and instead searched on here for dosages since Tylan200 is not necessarily for poultry use and many posts showed inconsistent dosages, but I settled on .4 for my small bantams based on 1/2cc for a 5 pound bird for 3-5 days. I am just unsure if 5 days is sufficient or...

    Hola from South Texas!

    I'm new to BYC but I've loved chickens (and animals in general) ever since I can remember. My grandparents on both sides of my family have always raised animals, whether it was poultry, pigs, sheep, or goats. When I was 12 my dad brought home some chickens as we live in the rural side of my city...
