All 4 of my hens have a bit of the sneezes. They act fine, but one of my hens who is sick is pooping less although she is eating. I checked her crop, it is not impacted. Its been a week since.

My hen who first had symptoms had a bit of runny eyes/bubbles but that went away.
Then, my second hen, who seems to have it a bit worse
Now my third, who is sneezing. She has cancer and I want to make sure it doesn't get bad.

I applied VetRX to help them a bit, overnight

What kind of antibiotic can I put in their water and how much for 1 gallon of water. Thank you.

How often are the same hens sneezing? Does it go on all day long, every few minutes? There are a number of respiratory diseases. Infectious bronchitis is a virus that causes frequent sneezing and mild respiratory symptoms for about a month. It spreads to the whole flock. It can cause wrinkled or thin egg shells, and can cause reproductive problems later. Not all birds will have that. Viruses do not improve with antibiotics. They have to run their course. MG, on the other hand can be treated with a few antibiotics, such as Tylosin. It can cause the foamy eye and other symptoms.
