Here's a bit about the difference. A vet would be the best bet obviously, but I know some folks are limited financially and even limited as far as having a avian vet. I was in one of those, the only way this can go is up moments. As always research research

How much is ok for these lil guys to eat? I have 5 in there and they are only 10 days old. Could they over eat the eggs? 

they could probably eat one a day maybe two between all of them in another week or so?

Yeah , I just scramble 2-3 eggs put half in the fridge for their afternoon feed. If you make it nice and soft and small enough for them to eat they'll chow down. Mine also love cooked soft rice with a raw egg stirred through.

What is the antibiotic you are using ?

It's called Denagard (tiamutin) 12.5%
2ml in 1 litre of water. For 5 days

Tiamulin is a gram positive antibiotic used in swine , but also well used with pneumonia bacteria and mycoplasma in chickens so stick with it and change the water every day.

Lol, that's not far from the truth, I often add a mashed up sardine to it. Omega 3. Yum.

Fresh air vitamin D and clean water. Good to see.
