I got a new hen which seems to have some respiratory problem probably due to the stress caused while shifting homes. She was sneezing a lot the next day along with a runny nose. I can also hear a sound when she breathes.
Can anyone suggest me a cure and proper medicine + their doasges??
 
If she's coming down with something she'll need antibiotics. Terramycin and Duramycin are two that are readily available at your local feed store. The dosages for those are complicated to calculate, but if you can let us know which you found, we can help you figure it out.

Tylan 50 injections is another option for more urgent cases as it works quickest and are more effective than oral doses. Give her those at a rate of 1/2cc subcutaneously into the breast for full size chickens & 1/4cc for bantam size (switching breast sides each injection) or inject behind the neck between the shoulder blades subcutaneously twice a day for 5 days.
 
I have Terramycin should I give it to her in the form of oral dosage or mix it in her water.?
What is the proper dosage of terramycin for a 7 month old New Hampshire chicken.??
Her condition is not so bad right now so I think she wouldn't need an injection.
