Your blue chicks that are sick, were they produced by blue birds or splits?

She looks great today. How long should I treat her for? Sunday was first day of treatment, tomorrow will be five days.

Hi Finnigan, after tomorrow i would give it a break for a few days and see how it goes. If it looks healthy,eating ok then it's up to you if you want to dose it again but in saying that keep the probiotics up to it for the few days as the antibiotics kill the good bacteria as well. Cheers Craig
