Needing some help!! Asap

Tractor supply said the Tylan is for cattle and swine? I’m not sure how much the br weighs so I’m kinda scared of over dose... she actually kinda looks better today but still sneezy and sleeping a lot. I have her In the laundry room right now because we had 50mph winds and I didn’t want the dirt to make anything worse

Also, her breathing seems to be worse at night. I gave her some food before bed and I can hear her trying to breath while she eats, she is eating better now and the drinking isn’t as excessive as it has been the last two days. I noticed that her poop has turned green but I’m thinking it’s because she wasn’t really eating until today....

Yes, the Tylan50 is what you want. Dosage is .25ml per pound of weight given orally 3 times a day for 5 days. Can you weigh her? Got a kitchen scale or you can weigh yourself then pick her up and weigh again, that might get you close.
Tylan has a wide dosage range according to Plumb's Vet Drug Manual, dosing for birds is 10-40mg/kg give 2-3 times a day for 5 days. The dosage I gave you is "mid-range" so it would be hard to overdose her. Tylan50 is well tolerated in birds.
Bacterial respiratory disease like Mycoplasma responds fairly well to Tylan50 and other antibiotics. If it's viral like Infectious Bronchitis, then it will have to run it's course, but antibiotics can still sometimes offer supportive care and lessen secondary infection.

I would check her crop first thing in the morning to make sure it's empty. Sometimes it's the angle of a photo, but her crop looks quite prominent. Has this girl ever laid eggs for you? How old is she supposed to be? I would also feel her abdomen for any bloat or feeling of fluid. Compare her to the others if you need to - cup your hand under her vent between the legs.

Her crop was the first thing I checked because when she would bend over to eat some fluid would come out of her mouth. The first night I brought her in the next day her crop was empty. After I started treating her with what I had I didn’t see the liquid anymore.

She’s “supposed” to be 9 months from what I was told. She’s been inside for 5 days now and hasn’t laid an egg yet. I did give her a warm bath epsome salt bath that first day as well. I had a EE pass from what I’m sure was egg bound that I caught too late so of course I was freaking out with this one about that too. I’m gonna try the Tylan50 starting today and pray for the best.

I thought these girls I bought where in good Shape but the more and more I think, I’m sure they where never taken care of properly prior to me and with the stress of the move all hell has broken loose.
Lesson learned I guess

Also, when I checked all the hens when I first got them they are a bit under weight. Could that be a problem too?

How did you check them?
You don't want your laying hen to be too fat, this can cause problems with laying and it's hard on their liver and heart.

Was her crop empty this morning?
What does her poop look like?

I can feel the kneel bone more than normal. I feel more meat on my healthy RR than I do on the BR even my EE are healthier and I got them from the same person the same day. Her crop was empty this morning she check it everyday. Her poop is normal comparing to a poop chart nothing out of the norm

Update!! broke down and took the chicken to the vet this morning. Whatever I did it worked. Vet said that she has mg being that we’ve have 40 mile hour winds for the last two weeks along with being malnourished BUT seems that she is getting better and we don’t need antibiotics! Gave me a recommended diet to gain some weight and sent us home!! Now we gatta get her to lay an egg and she can go back with the flock!! Thank all of you for the information, it helped so much!!
