Does anyone know the dosage for amoxicillin?

[Jfab]

I was told to put amoxicillin in my girls water to treat an infection. but no one told me how much. I have 500 mg capsules. I've been googling but everything I find is for liquid not capsules. Could someone please help me?

Who told you to put amoxicillin in the water and to treat what?

My chicken passed what I've been told is egg lash. I was told by someone who supposedly knows about chickens to put amoxicillin in the water to treat

Have you ever smelled Amoxicillin? The chickens are not going to want to drink the water.

The dose for Amoxicillin is 57mg per pound. How much do they weigh?

I don't believe that's going to help.

I have a hen who passed what I have been told is egg lash today. I've been told to give her amoxicillin. I went to a farm supply store and purchased a bottle of capsules and was told to put it in her water but I would have to google the dosage. I've done that but the only info I can find is for liquid and I have capsules. Can someone please help?

I think you have to use Baytril for lash egg. Not sure though. @Eggcessive, @Kiki

Antibiotics may or may not be effective in treating salpingitis once lash egg material is seen. Here is some reading about salpingitis and lash eggs:
