You would need to add 25g of that product to a liter of drinking water. That must be their only source is drinking water for the 5 day treatment cycle.
During treatment, remove all extra sources of calcium. This means switching them to an All Flock type of feed or chick starter and removing oyster shells.
Following treatment, they need to be given probiotics to re-establish gut flora. I would offer that for 7-10 days. Oyster shells can be put back out for the hens.

The directions on the label say 2.5 grams, which is close to 1/2 tsp per liter. That dosage is recommended for pigeons.

The jar label reads 100mg of chlorotetracyline per g of product. There are 100g of product in the jar:

The recommended dosage for poultry from PoultryDVM is 2500mg/L:

25g product x 100mg/g chlorotetracycline concentration = 2,500mg chorotetracycline.
