believe you me. i dont believe in doing alot of treating. i dont run a hospital here. and i personally would have culled something that i deemed a "chronic sneezer" (thats a new one to me) but i notice most on here baby thier birds. so i dont think treating them with a run of biotics is a bad course to take. if it doesnt cure them, then by all means cull the sick ones. but one run of treatment will not make a flock or an individual some type of "immuno-compromised" mutant.
what i have done, is use tylan on an individual. esp. if the flock doesnt need to be treated. tylan can be bought at any feed store. with that said i can count on one hand in all my life the amount of birds ive treated with tylan. this is reserved for a very valuable, irreplaceable individual. and ive only had one hen that did not react positive to the tylan treatment. generally if something is that bad off, even if it is getting along fine, i cull.
usually i just use vetr-x on grown fowl. but for chicks a dosage of respiratory medicine. will not hurt them at all.
