Hello I'm new here have a sick chicken with mouth open and wezzing been giving here med but it said 400-800mg per gallon is that like 1 tbs per gallon?
 
Welcome to BYC

It entirely depends on the brand/type of medicine you are using.

400mg is not 1 tsp but actually .10 (one tenth) of a teaspoon.

Here is a link for Oxytetracyline and Tetracycline Powder Doses (I'm assuming that it may be one of these because you didn't specify)

You'll have to scroll through the page to find the product you're using.
 
Hello!
400

Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to joined the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around BYC. It is a 1/8 teaspoon measurement or you can use a syringe that measures milligrams. Good luck with her.
 
She is doing better but when I put her back in with the flock had a big fight pecking order. Had to play ref for a bit but head chicken will not let her in the rost?
