Hello,
I have 3 chicks and I think they have some kind of respiratory issue. One of them is doing like sniffles, breathing heavy and shaking her head and one of her sisters started doing the head-shaking recently. I've been making a lot of research and I'm giving them doxycycline, Bird Biotic. It says to give the bird one packet of 100mg in 8oz of water. Is that enough/too much for 3 one-month-old chicks? We're on day 3 of antibiotics and I'm not seeing any improvements yet. They're acting normal apart from those things I just mentioned, they eat a lot and they are very active and friendly. Also, they're not drinking all the water and it seems a lot of the medicine is going to waste, I could just give it to them with a syringe but I can't find how much to give to each chick.
Please help!
