Treating yeast in entire flock

[Hssnider73]

Hello.

There’s quite a few birds in my large flock that seem to have a yeast issue. I’ve ordered Medistatin powder but I can’t find info on treating the entire flock in their water. They free range during the day so it’s almost impossible for me to catch that many to treat 3 times a day. I could dose them before I open coops and at bedtimes but, I’m talking 20 hens that I want to treat. Is there any way for me to treat the entire flock through their water. I have a 5 gallon waterer so I’m trying to figure out how to mix and dose in that.
Thanks for any help

And yes I’m sure it’s a yeast issue. They’ve been treated with Elector PSP recently for lice and otherwise are in great health. No worms visible in any droppings or anything.

Try looking online for fluconazole in fish medications. Normally a script isnt required for fish meds which can be given to chickens.

The Medistatin I have ordered is specifically to treat yeast in birds I’m just trying to figure out to dose the whole flock easily

A more natural way could be, coconut oil and a good natural yogurt added to their feed.
I use fermented food for their first feed in the morning and a little cider vinegar in their water once or twice a week.
