Which oxytetracyline do you have?

well, of course. I just went out with a solution mixed for 4 gallons and I cant find one bird who is sneezing. This am there were a few and one sneezed persistently on Friday, (although it could have been dust in her nose).

I treated them anyway because,,,, the darn creatures WERE sneezing. I am open to suggestions. doh!

this chicken now sounds like this.

ONLY WORSE. loud constant honking like a newly crowing rooster.

the rooster is also doing it now.

I will isolate the hen tonight. not sure about the rooster yet.

Can you take them to a vet?

-Kathy
 
If a Vet has to write a prescription the State has the power to gather that info. In my State they would seize the entire flock. kill them all and THEN autopsy them. I have seen this done.
