Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The VetRX is not really going to help.
Is the coop they are in very well ventilated? What bedding are you using? Do you see any discharge from the nares or bubbles in the eyes or hear any wheezing?

Hello, the coop is ventilated ok. Probably not great as we put plywood around the bottom to keep the coons out the top is chicken wire. We got rid of the pine shavings and added hay. I cleaned the floor with vinegar. I don't see any discharge and they eat and drink normally. It's a big coop though for the amount of chickens in there and the big side barn door is right next to them so the fresh air does get in. Wondering if I need antibiotics.
