Oxine to treat a respiratory thing.

[BayFillyZ]

I have oxine now to disinfect my entire coop as well as fog/mist my flock because I have 1 or 2 making squeaky noises when they breathe. I have had no chickens come into the flock to bring in a new disease and I have never had any diseased birds so I am thinking it is something minor respiratorily speaking. Maybe a fungal infection? I will use 6.5 oz/gal of water to disinfect the coop with but is that the same ratio to safely mist the birds with directly? I don't want to over- or under-treat them. For the ones with a squeaky sound i am planning to close them in their tractor, a put oxine in a humidifier. Those of you who are more experienced--does this sound like a suitable course of action? if not what would you do instead?
(fyi all my chickens are at least 18 weeks old)

I think the real authority on Oxine is Dr. Brown at First State Vet Supply. He does offer advice, BTW. You can reach him through his website at: http://www.firststatevetsupply.com/store/

Thanks Dawg53! I really hope it helps. It certainly couldnt hurt. I am trying Oxine before administering an antibiotic on everyone. I ordered my oxine from Revival Animal Health. They seemed to have the best price I could find online and I had a couple of chicken owners go in with me to order 4 gallons making the price each $22.50 incl. shipping.
