Safe Guard Aquasol dose for BANTAMS

[casportpony]

Yes, I would love to try antibiotics, I just don't whats available without a prescription.

Sneezing, cough/head shaking could also be caused by something in the environment such as; dust from dust bathing, mold or mildew in the coop, improper ventilation, ammonia fumes from soiled bedding, inhalation of feed dust, pollen, pesticide use.
All of these can be corrected or eliminated.

Also look inside the mouth for tiny white splotches in the back of the mouth going down the esophagus and on the roof of the mouth. This would indicate a yeast infection.

Good point and suggestions.

@Tacswa3, can you take a video of the sick chicken?

I just picked these birds up not quite a week ago from another owner. Noticed the cough/sneeze as soon as I got home with them. They appeared to come from nice conditions although I guess one really doesn't know. So they are removed from that previous environment.

Great! Thanks for the link. I don't need to eat the eggs from these birds, but using Tylosin, is it a lifetime egg withdrawal?

No, two weeks should be okay.

According to this FARAD link from 2020 page 7, there is a zero egg withdrawal time for Tylosin:

Is head shaking related to anything else? I posted recently for help with a bantam silver-penciled Cochin who acts broody around 10–11 months old. She is very moody/grumpy and others pick on her. She is in and out of the nesting box, even out for extended periods, but when she sits in the box her head is twitchy. Someone responded that it's just broodiness, but reading this thread leaves me wondering if there may be something else going on with her. I had never heard of a hen going broody this young. None of my others were ever broody before 18 months or older and some have never been. Anyone know about head twitching when sitting in the nesting box?
