Silkie thread!

That is not a treatment dose; that is a preventative dose.  Treatment is 4ml per quart (16 per gallon)

Thank you for clearing that up, it did sound like a low dosage and I've had experience that drug.

Does anyone know how many quarts in a litre or how many litres in a quart? Heck I would even go pints or fluid ounces if it helps!
I just want my little guys to get better. I have lost so many, big and small because of this. I have been battling it on and off since before Christmas, some pulling through, some not

4 quarts per gallon does that help?

A quart is just over a litre, so effectively you need to double the dosage, and change the water daily.

I am treating 200 birds. The youngest 3 weeks old (the ones in the picture and more) and the oldest 7 or 8 years old so the water is made up daily. It has cost me a small fortune so far. I have some a week old, is this dose ok for them too?

200 birds, are they all showing symptoms? With that many birds you'd be looking at 16 ml to the gallon.

Somedays the cockerels can't crow and the next day they can so it is hit and miss. There are 3 pens that are sneezing and wheezing. The one of 24 with the 3 week olds, the pen of 12 8 month old wyandottes and a pen of 27 6 week olds.
Don't get me wrong. They are 'pets'. I intend building a business but every death (and there have been a lot; sometimes 12-15 per day) hits me hard, especially the tiny ones.

You need to have necropsy done on your next dead bird. Your youngsters shouldn't be within half a mile of the infected birds and you would have to change your shoes and clothes and wash your hands every time you interact with the groups. If this is coryza or mycoplasma, which it sounds like it is , you need to close your flock. No birds in no birds out.

When you listen to their chest there are crackling noises. They are gasping and sneezing. Their noses are gunked up and I have to open their eyes every morning.
They have antibiotics off the vet

Lucky babies to have you as their owner! There are just so many ailments with chickens it's mind-boggling to remember them all. I used to think 10 or 12 ailments and/or diseases but there's so much more!

This may help.
