I would be careful with that. It says at the link that you gave that as a side effect it could

yes for sure but it can also help. I for one took it when i had breathing problems with covid, I really think it might help with respiratory on chickens at a low dose. But I would only really try on a close to dying chicken. Might as well try, or euthanize.

we basically lost 4 chicks ill from vaccine and5 chickens from marek's, I feel like we need to try more these babies dying hurts me so much.
