This is copied from the website of Shagbark bantams. He talks about using Oxine for poultry.
" I first introduced Oxine as a medicinal treatment for upper respiratory fungal infections, as outlined in the first article I ever wrote for the Poultry Press. Oxine was certainly not anything new at that time, but it was new information to most of the fancy. It had already been used for decades in both the chlorination of municipal drinking water supplies, and was widely used throughout the commercial poultry industry. But few fanciers knew anything about it. I happened to have a duck at the time that was suffering so severely from a respiratory infection that I spoke to a Poultry Research Veterinarian friend of mine about possible treatment experiments, since illnesses such as Aspergillosis were thought of as fatal if severe. He told me about Oxine AH and how successful it had been when used as a nebulizing agent both in poultry and in the equine field. (Nebulizing meant the bird had to breathe the product into its airways.)
I had nothing to lose since the duck could barely breathe, so I tried it. I used a Tri-Jet fogger and a solution of 6-1/2 ounces of Oxine to a gallon of water as prescribed, and I fogged the birds face and cage three times daily for ten days. She was cured."

This is the website.
I once tried it on a rooster that was seemingly near deaths door, hardly able to breath. I treated him for 2 days by using a spray bottle, and spraying the oxine mixture into his face so he had to inhale some of the mist. He recovered miraculaslly.
As an aside, when I go to a show, I take the oxine mixture in a spray bottle and spray the cages before I put my birds in them. And then, once a day for the duration of the show.
