Below is a cut and paste from Murrey McMurrey Hatchery. Which advertises on this forum (how I ended up clicking on them). This is what they say about Terramycin:
This broad-spectrum antibiotic is a shot-gun approach to the problems that can occur during the growing period. Colds, chronic respiratory disease, air sac infection, fowl cholera, and other diseases can be helped if treated early. Terramycin can be used on poultry if they are not laying yet. Dosage 1 tsp. per gallon for maintenance 2 tsp. per gallon for treatment.
The very first thing they list is COLDS!!! Many of you asked why if I knew better would I think an antibiotic would help. I knew I had read this and then thought did I imagine it ... No it was just not from the forum.
Anyway, I hope the chicks continue to do alright. I appreciate all the input. I am learning though more than I really hoped to. Yogurt will be added to their diet in the morning and I will take them off the antibiotic in 5 days.
Bests,
Charlotte
