@FlyingNunFarm I’ll be sure to use that line with her!

@Hen Pen Jem thank you for the information as well as for the idea of alternating them!

As for changes, I noticed them sneezing quite a lot after the treatment. If I think Of how nebulizer treatments affect humans, it’s a good sign for them to be sneezing similar to when we cough During treatment because it is opening up the airways

Even my rooster was enjoying a neb treatment! He’s not overly friendly but i couldn’t get him off my leg!

Oh, that first photo is priceless!

The vapors drifting over his face, and those eyes...I love it!

@Hen Pen Jem he looks like he’s a gangster smoking a joint and letting it roll out.

 

[Hen Pen Jem]

Well, he certainly looks blissful.

Friend of mine said don’t use the Oxine and Colloidal Silver together. They would just cancel each other out.
Recommended more of the silver over the oxine but admits has never used either as you are.

Huge win this morning! The 2 babies and Chestnut (broody) that were rattling aren’t this morning! I didn’t even have to clean caked nostrils!!! I have the humidifier with oxine running in the coop. I figure that way anytime they go in there They will have a treatment.

Awesome...I am taking notes!

So an update a week later! Welp, I’m in deep now as it spread to my whole flock of 30+birds. It is cycling around, one day some sound better and the next more sneezing/hoarseness. I’ve been doing colloidal silver and oxine with the Oxine in the humidifier & fogger and colloidal silver in the water. Plus, my garlic, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, and basil infused water.

Good news is that no one has been really bad for more than a day and then they seem to bounce back a bit. Not sure re-separating anyone will prove beneficial as it seems everyone has caught it in the mix.

I’m going to steady on for the next couple days and hope it gets better!
