What to do if your chicken has a respiratory infection or problem

Very sorry for your losses.

Are you crazy?? You don´t need to cull them. Mine have had this before and i treat with 5 days of an antibiotic and then 3 days with vitamins. You can treat it really easy.

You can even treat them all even if they are not showing any symtoms yet. Just speak to a local vet for some advice or to buy the antbiotic. It would be better the culling.

I am battling it now,my first time having chickens. Mine will be 4 weeks old on Monday. I just couldn't kill them without trying everything I could.I am already so attached to them,I'm just hoping they make it. I'm glad you posted your response, I was happy to see some positive feedback on this. I will keep trying to save my babies!

I am going through something similar to your story I had to cull my rooster for respiratory infection that would not clear up .. my question is did your other chickens get it and how long did you keep the rest before you decide they where not infected 30 days??

where can I get clavamox? I need this medication but run into a hurdle every time I try to purchase it.
