Help!-Sickly Buff Orpingtons!

[casportpony]

It was on a thread called "Help! Pullet is very Sick" or something like that..she had to feed it through a tube....
Yeah, I will continue treating them this way...

I read the thread real quick and there was nothing about giving less mg per kg because of it's age or size.

Thank you guys! I appreciate the help but I think it is too late for my Buffs, but I think I can heal up the black rooster

Update: Treated gallon with 2 1/4 teaspoon, giving them more as the treatment goes on, hoping to kill it off.
Then trying de-wormer.

I would double check your dosage. I think it is 1-2 tablespoons per gallon.

Yes I realize that. My male is so far gone, I think over dosing may be the only way to save him-

A tablespoon is 3 teaspoons. So, 2.25 tsp is under dosing.

I think you might be under-dosing. What type of Duraymcin are you using; the 400mg or the 800mg? From what info I found on BYC, the dosage is 1 teaspoon per gallon of water for 400mg, and 2 teaspoons per gallon of water for 800mg. 

No, from what this person is telling me, I am OVER dosing
