I order mine online. I have not seen it anywhere local to buy it but that doesn't mean it isn't out there. I believe I bought my last 4 packs at Cutler's Supply. It is used before shows and sales or shipping, though I am sure it has many other uses.

Just wanted to let you know that my little chick is feeling better. She was in the bathroom since we spoke last and is on gallimycin. She spent her first night back in the garage last night. I'm hoping to put her back with her friends soon.

I wanted to let everyone know that most of the medicines I have heard yall talking about on here is in stock at Griff's Farm supply (I did get the last bag of gallimycin, but I'm sure they will reorder) If you have been to a clemson game (go Gamecocks), you have driven right by it. I just wanted to say thank you again Amy, hoping I will be out of the woods soon.

My sickest died today. I called and they said I could ship it on ice to them. It will cost me $90 + shipping. If you guys were me what would you do? I have a mf d'uccle, 2 gold necks d'uccle, 1 white silkie/cochin mix, 1 cochin, 1 sboeg, and 1 silkie left. I just can't see myself killing them all. Is it that they are sick and not getting better? Is it that the coop just keeps reinfecting them? I was using a humidifier with oxine in the coop. I have not done it in a week or so though because I did not see it really helping. I fear that everyday I risk it getting to me other chickens. How come it could not just be a little cold that they have for a week or so and then get better OR it kills them off quickly? This long drawn out stuff leaves me not knowing what to do!

Thanks!!
 
I would be worried with a humidifier in the coop as humidity creates a germ breeding ground, and not sure how humidifier affects oxene, and dispersal of the oxene. I would think pump up sprayer would be more effective. (Opinion, not fact)

how long between infections? weeks, or days? I would think EVERYONE would have been exposed to whatever it may be.

have you looked at or tried VetRx? supposedly designed as herbal remedy to respiratory issues

PS, you are in Laurens? We have a bottle "just in case" stop by and get ours to try, what can it hurt.

Personally. No more birds then you have. I'd cage them up away from where they are. I'd put them on clorox and sugar water. I'd soak the whole coop with clorox in a sprayer. I'd put a fan in there. and I'd try to close it up and put a heater in and get it as dry as possible. then soak it in clorox again.
and a little clorox in their water with the sugar will not harm them. but it will flush them out. and make sure all the droppings fall out of the cage.
Follow that the next day with electrolytes...
Well, that is what I would do anyway.
 
On the better side of things. I came home to 10 fresh new babies. and as soon as I took them out of the hatching tray and put them in the box I had another one. ( waiting on it to dry now before tossing it in the box too. )

 
I started flippin chicks. but only flipped 4 and the count was 3 cockerels and 1 pullet so I quit flippin chicks.
When I'm flippin my chicks I want them to be pullets. ( Those game chicken people I hatch for would be delighted about now lol )
