I dont think you should criticize anyone else’s ideas, please give your input only, se are all learning here and just trying to help.

I didn't call you out or criticize you personally in any way, and stand by what I said. Please take it as your chance to learn about medicating when it isn't needed and things not working when WE need them to. Giving aspirin will mask symptoms. Masking symptoms while we recover is fine IF we have identified the cause already.

I understand we are all trying to help and learning along the way! I also unfortunately understand the statement that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. I'm sorry it made you feel uncomfortable that I emphatically disagree with irresponsible use of antibiotics.

i contacted the person I got him from less than 12 hours ago and she insists he was fine.

She simply may not have notice the sneezing or been concerned by it, or it may not have presented yet. Many things can take at least 3 weeks to present with ANY symptoms.. why quarantine is often 30 days +.

For me, I don't have enough space to achieve true quarantine and any effort of such would be mostly in vein. How far away is your large pen that he's in?

I wasn't able to view that video.

I think you should decide what to do, it nay be risky to keep a bird with a possibly contagiousness decease, but if the other lady insists he’s fine, he will likely have much better home with you, wether it’s his last, or you can save him. Plus, if the lady has other chickens and she insists he’s fine, she will likely throw him in with her chickens and give the same thing to them, which she will likely, also not treat. I think wether you decide to cull him or give him a chance you are gonna be the better home. Hope this helped! Avery

Whoa! I didn't see where @EggSighted4Life was criticizing anyone, you want to re-think that?

You're wanting to be a vet when you eventually get out of school, I saw your THREAD where your Dad is making you a vet shack. Now is the time to start researching and learning about diseases that affect poultry - how disease is transmitted and how certain diseases make birds and those that are exposed to them carriers.
Here's a good break down of common diseases that will get you started:
