<3 N.C Chicken Chick <3 :
How do I give these to them? When? Is it ok to medicate if I don't know what it is, If they are not sick can it harm them? Is it ok for chicks?
VetRx is safe for all age chickens, and can be given as a preventative if chickens are not sick. If they have something that should be treated with antibiotics or dispatch, then you should either see no improvement or improvement of some of the symptoms only (not a full recovery, other symptoms persist ). I just put 3-5 drops per water, about 3drops in a quart chick water and about 5 drops in a gallon chick water. In the water is easier, but can be given straight by mouth. Only 1 drop by mouth for chicks and rub any excess from that drop on the nostrils. The older chickens I give 2-3 drops by mouth and 1 more drop on the nostrils. This way is less liked by the chickens, the "remedy" is strong selling. I think the smell resembles vapor rub. One treatment normally works for me, but have used up to a week before.
