Help! Respitory disease in my flock?

[The Backyard Bantams]

I have a flock of 10 banties. 3 are new hens I introduced from a breeder about 2 weeks ago. I've noticed since then they all have snotty beaks. A couple also have gurgly breathing. No one seems critically ill, but I don't want it getting worse.

Today I mixed in some multi-vitamin, probiotics, amino acid mix into their water. Would that be enough to help, or do I need to buy anti-biotics?

You need an antibiotic. Tylosin soluble powder is easiest to treat a number of birds at once. I get mine here without a prescription. https://www.jedds.com/shop/tylan-soluble-100-g/

If you're concerned about safety, do a search on tylosin.

My friends on instagram have recommended my amoxicillin and oxymav.

Thought it was coryza but the vet said it was a respirotary infection triggered by new bacteria from the new hens. She gave me some meds and im starting treatment!

Amoxicillin will not treat mycoplasma (MG) or most other respiratory diseases. Drugs that can treat MG are tylosin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, Baytril, and tiamulin. No antibiotics will treat a virus. Coryza is best treated with sulf antibiotics.
