New chicken has rattling breathing

Once they are separated, the rooster will most likely go on his way hanging out and watching over the others.

Ok @Eggcessive these chickens weigh 3 pounds do I pull this plunger to the 1.5 mark and do this 3 times a day right? My regular syringes broke so I had to get new ones today. Forgive me

If you are giving the Tylan 50, you would want to give 0.25 ml per pound or 0.75ml. That would be between 0.5 and 1.

Ok and that’s per pound on the maker between 0.5 and 1? Or is that for their total body weight of 3 pounds? Thanks @Eggcessive

 

[Eggcessive]

For 3 pounds.

 

[shannon84]

Shoot they weigh 5 lbs I meant!

 

[Eggcessive]

Okay give them 1.25 ml which is between 1 and 1.5 on your syringe.

 

[shannon84]

Ok I just did it and took a guess it happened to be those exact measurements! Whew I think it’s more stressful for me than them that rooster is a pain to get out of the way. They act as if I’m going to kill them. Very dramatic
