Just read about oxine. How to apply it??

[MakNat]

Can you just use a spraY BOTTLE AND SPRAY IT IN THERE FACES?? I ordered a gallon of it. I keep having snottiness and irritated eyes. Everything I do, either doesn't work or makes them worse. So I'm going to try oxine. Just want to apply it right.

NO, you can NOT spray it in their faces. It is safe to use around them, but I wouldn't spray it ON them.
You should dilute the Oxine at one ounce per gallon of water for mold and fungus, and 3 ounces per gallon of water for viruses.
You can apply it with a spray bottle, or a mister. I have one of those small mister things that you use for spraying flowers or plants (never had anything in it except DE and Oxine)
If you think discenfecting will help, you need to spray everything down. (Everything except the chickens). I clean coop out entirely, then spray it all down. Let it dry, then put fresh shavings in. I also spray the ground in the run.. just to make the top slightly damp. Also was out with the oxine all their feedersand waterers.
Try posting symptoms in the emergencies section. Maybe someone ill have an idea as to why your chickens are ill. They might need antiobiotics.
Good luck! It sounds like you are trying hard to keep them well!

I didn't put that right. I mean after mixing it with water. Would it be ok to mist it in their faces. I have read that people will fog the coop, birds and all. Then when they breath it, it will clear up there sinusis... Foggers are very costly. So my question was, will a spray bottle work as well?
