Ok, I just got home with Oxytetracycline powder, now I have to figure out how to mix it, lol. How much of this stuff should I put in a quart waterer? The directions on the back are clear as mud, they give directions for specific diseases but that's about it.
ETA: Also, I got some Wazine to worm the bigger birds and the directions on that are for 100+ birds, I don't have anywhere even close to that, any advice on how to administer that? I have 22 birds, all over 12 weeks old.

The ducks are Swimming in my yard/lake today

And i shoulda taken pics as i uncovered the bator. I was shooting for quick posts last night but :D there were two fleece blankets, 3 big jackets, two fleece, one denham :) then the comforter wrapped all the way around the bottom...
 
I looked it up and most people said to use 2.5 tbsp in 1 gallon which would be .625 in a quart so I just put a heaping half tbsp in it. Y'all think that's ok?
 
I also got the Vetericyn opthamolic gel. As an added precaution I got some Vetericyn eye wash as well. I put a few drops of the eye wash in her eye (that was real fun :/ ) and then put a drop of gel in there. Holding open a tiny struggling chicks eye while you're trying to hold her still and put drops in her eye at the same time was NOT easy, lol.

Hope the poor little mite responds to treatment. Of it doesn't it won't be for lack of trying. Healing thoughts.

Sounds like how my oven smelled when we used it for the first time after we came back from being gone for 2 years. The mice had themselves a nice little rodent condo set up in the oven walls. Omg the smell was HORRIBLE! Stinks doesn't even begin to describe it :sick
