Can chickens use antibiotics for ornamental birds?

[Muscoweewee]

I was just wondering whether my chooks could use 'Aristopet Oral Antibiotic for Birds 50g' and what the doses for a chicken would be- would it be around the dose of a large parrot. :cd I am using it to help control infections for fowl pox

You should ask Chickluvinfreak. I know she dealt with fowl pox a while ago.

Fowl pox is a virus so antibiotics will do little to address it, but it can help prevent secondary infections. Vitamin supplements / electrolytes will help boost the immune system of your flock, which is the route I would personally take.
