Henhouse Harlot
Crowing
I have an almost-year-old Easter Egger hen who has a nasty, seriously infected wound on her breast that I just discovered. (Chickens are too good at hiding things!!!) She had a nice, long soak in an Epsom salt bath, and then I saturated the entire area with Schriener's solution. (What it is, check out the link!)

Now, she's resting in my hospital cage while I try to figure out how much antibiotic to give her. I have 500mg Amoxicillin capsules, and some liquid Cephalexin 250mg/per 5 mL. She weighs 2.9 pounds right now, although she's still pretty wet, so maybe 2 1/2 pounds? Anyhow! I need to know which one would be better, and how much do I give her? I've found different people have different answers, so I'm asking far more knowledgeable folks than myself!
