A spoon full of sugar?

A couple of my new chooks Toyah and Debbie Harry seem to have bit of a breathy :? problem and I need to give them some antibiotics. I think its just from the move but its not getting any better

Anyhow, I have to dilute the stuff in water and wondered how I can make sure that they get some and that the ducks won't drink it all, and more importantly will it do the ducks any harm??

Could you put it in a syringe (minus the needle) and squirt it into the mouths of the hens that need it?

Can you separate a bit of their run off and keep them in there until they drink the water ?

I use the syringe method myself, easy if you don't have too many chooks !

Thanks for that, syringe no problem, I just wasn't sure if you could do that with chooks

Glad you like the name Foxy

If you cant laugh at yourself life can be very serious
