Does anyone know where I can buy Pennchlor 64 ? Everywhere I check says I need a prescription.

Chlortetracycline is one of the oral antibiotics that have been prescription only for over a year. Perhaps if you give some details on what you are treating with symptoms, we might be able to suggest an alternative medicine that is still available. Tylan 50 and 20 injectable are still available and can be used orally in chickens and turkeys for several types of infections.
Thank you very much.You can give Tylan 50 injectable, but give it orally only to the sick chicken, 1 ml for a 5 pound hen, 1.5 ml for 7 pounds, and give it 2 or 3 times daily for 5 days. Give it a drop at a time, letting her swallow. It does no good to treat the others if they have no symptoms.
Mix up a little bowl of chicken feed plus a lot of water to make it runny to get more fluids into her. Offer some chopped scrambled egg. You can mix in a couple of spoonfuls of plain yogurt daily into the wet feed to give them some probiotics to help prevent diarrhea while on antibiotics.
The sick hen may be a carrier after she recovers. Here is a good link to read that has info on respiratory diseases such as infectious bronchitis or mycoplasma (MG, CRD.)
