Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

ok need someone to help me with reminders... so had one chicken that had a bad foot and appeared to break its leg and I could not get it set good and she gimped for a little bit but last two days would not get up. Carol helped me cull her.
Now one of my April 1 teenagers is not wanting to stand up much. Walks for a little and goes down to rest... I am worried. Better to treat all at this point or just one? I have Duramycin on hand... how much do i use in a two gallon.

we will be at state fair all day tomorrow so want to fix this tonight since we wont be back until dinner tomorrow. Yikes....I just hit panick. Never had an issue before. In 4 years we only lost 2 birds to coons and one to heat last summer. help friends!

just double checked her and one eye is a little goopy...

Duramycin:

2 tsp. per 4 qt. or 1 gal.

I would isolate & just treat her. The first one was probably from an accident. Deep breath, stay calm. We're with ya.

It should say on the package. It is either 7 or 10 days. If you aren't sure, you could check their website, otherwise I'd go with the 10 days just to make sure you got it all.
I hope she gets better for you fast. And no worries. We all get a little panicky from time to time. Well, maybe not Jim, anymore...........
