Backyard Chickens - Respiratory Disease - VetRx 

Thank you for posting this.. I just took in a young hen that was making the same sounds.. I was really worried.. I went to the feed store and they had the rxvet there thank God... It worked right away.. She started eating and drinking with in minutes... You just saved a little hen.. Thank you

one of my chickens was making the same noise and sneezing, saw your videos and got some vetrx and she was fine the next morning, thank you!

Thanks for this sound advice. It work overnight and saved our flock! I suspect hidden moldy food? The boss and biggest hen had ate around most of it keeping the others away, but the all had a case if upper respiratory disease. After 24 hrs she became worse with this terrible congestion sound the flock tried to fight to the death to get rid of her. They have had slight cases of this before but recovered on thier own. no matter warm or cold weather or conditions. This case was more severe. we went into the hen house at night when birds are asleep to easily administer the RX. Discovery this moldy food, cleaning it out in the pen area was part of the problem thinking they won't eat it...but they ate around it a mold spores travel well. Thourorly removing the top dirt out of pen and put more dimetacious down. Hen house, nest boxes. pen and food got sprinkled with the RX extra and dose of vitamins A sunny day to range free while I cleaned the pen. And I have to also say be sensible hen keepers there is too much bad advice on the internet. Go to the Vet if you have too!

Thank you so much for this information. I had two hens die of respitory disease I didn't know they could be saved. I am definitely going to order this. Thank you for all your hard work you do to educate us. God Bless you and your family🙏🏻❤️🐓😇

One of the components is oil of oregano. Oregano essential oil has many health benefits that include treatment of parasitic and fungal infections, strengthening the immune system, and improving digestion. It can minimize the severity of allergic reactions. The benefits of oregano essential oil can be attributed to its antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties.

Thank you for the posting. My hen is doing exactly this same thing. I will get some vet Rx ordered hope it gets. Here in time.

So glad she is feeling better and that you found a natural remedy. Will remember to pick up some VerTex and take a look at the label next time I visit the feed store.

I have a barred rock that is making the same sound today and was told to get the vetRx. I administered and isolated her. I also supplemented her water with it along with poultry call and nutri-drench. Hoping for the best.

Glad to hear your little hen is better. Thank you for sharing your research. It is very informative.

Hey just wanted to share something. Not sure if you do this but I put a drop of oregano oil in our chickens water (it works as a natural antibiotic) Our girls are super healthy. We actually use oil of oregano when we get sick & it seems to work wonders!

try herbal ingredients for sick chiken. it works great and no chemicals : 1. one slice of garlic, ginger, 1/2 tsp of turmeric. 2. Juz put all of them in water n boil it for 45 mnt, n let it cool. 3. replace the water in ur chicken coop with herbal water. 4. do it everyday ntill the chicken healthy. usually a week. ur chicken can drink it anytime she wants. in case she's too sick n not drink anymore u have to force it. i rarely use antibitoc for my chicken unless if I have really no option left. worth to try! may god bless ur family n ur chickens farm :)

Thank you for your Video- it helped me- 2 of my chickens began making this noise and one has died. So we are getting that now!!!

My only rooster is sick, I just gave this to him today. I really hope this helps him :(

We just found this issue with our hen tonight and your video was so helpful thank you!!!

Never heard of vet Rx, so glad you showed this!

There is a difference in given an animal an antibiotic when it is sick and feeding it to them all the time.

Help please! My chicken is has respiratory and I used this Vetrx ! ( on her nostril, tongue, wattle, comb, under the wings, on her neck and on the feet ) but I don’t know if I see anything starting to get better! She can still walk but day by day I think she is worse!!! She still has a raspy voice with gurgling and her eyes are half closed a bit… please give tips, I give her garlic paste, cucumber, lettuce and a bit of chilli powder as well.

Thank you for the information, I'm new to the chicken keeping.

Antibiotics are always last choice, but if my animal is getting worse/dying, I will use antibiotics. Natural is preferred. Tetracycline will cure respiratory diseases, if administered correctly. It can be used with layer hens; you just have to separate them and toss their eggs for 20 days. All that said, I'm glad you found a natural cure.

We got the Vet RX today. The hen started making that strange noise yesterday. Not one has made this noise since we got back with the med! What's up with that!

a just heard yesterday one of my hens sneezing im going to get the product today! i will keep posted

Thanks Brandon. Subscribed as I have a brahma doing that and going to get vetrx now!

I know this chicken is most likely long gone but i hope she had a great life!

The respiratory issue, from what I was told by an expert, is actually present in all the birds, but when they get stressed it can affect them. The VetRx seems to work fairly well as several game bird people have suggested it to me. I was told to use the powdered antibiotic by soaking their food in it to make sure the others did not get infected or so that the sick birds would not get a secondary infection. I think the issue is that it is actually a virus, so the antibiotic won't prevent it, just secondary infections.

Thank you for sharing! But how do you open your chicken's beak, without her biting? And can I add the remedy to the drinking water? Is it okay to keep this chiken with the flock, as they share water?

Really good information! Thank you

While I can appreciate your desire to have good quality, antibiotic free eggs, you also need to have compassion for the chicken who is sick and give them what they may need in a time of crisis. I'm sure when you're sick you take what is necessary to get well. If you have to give a chicken an antibiotic to get well it's not a good idea to eat the egg while it is sick. I would suggest having compassion

one of my chickens has a runny nose and it has some discharge from its eyes how do I takes care of that?

Glad you found an antibiotic-free solution! At the end of your video, there is a hen that is black, white and brown. What type is she?

One of our chickens is weasing and coughing she trying to defeat the cold normally it's super hot where i live.

Thank you for your advice

u should give mustard oil and garlic cloves hat it up in the pan give it is help full feed the garlic

Do I do this for myhen everyday for a week? or should I do it every other day?

This is very helpful. Thank you!

She is been doing since yesterday cam we put

Great info, much appreciated. Glad there r options. Anyone know if it's available in Canada? Due to covid we can't go to the US to pick up products any longer. Thx again.

hey just wondering if Vetrx ,or whatever it's called, could be used with baby chicks, PLEASE RESPOND!

thank you for the video it helped me a lot

Of course you can give antibiotics to laying hens! Over the years many of my hens have received antibiotics (prescribed by my avian vets). The withholding period for eggs is a month, which is no big deal.

Vetrx is not a medication. It will be best advise to use antibiotics plus vetrx. Lots of ppl chickens will die if they only use vetrx. If you had an infection or respiratory disease, you will not use vicks alone to treat it.

you did your research then you should know 95% of chickens have MG or Bronchial carriers... hope this gives more information to people that have been at this less than 36 years.....

Can vetrx be used on 2week old chicks?! Mine have been sneezing!!

thank you for sharing.

You can still call the eggs from hens that were treated with antibiotic organic - if you use the antibiotic to treat disease (I think, not 100% sure). I believe that commercial chicken coop continuously give hens low dose antibiotics - even when the hens are not sick. Having said that, I am glad you did not have to use antibiotics!

Can this be used for an 8 week old chick?

Good to know 🐓🐓 VetRx

My chiken had gape worm what can i do by my self untill the drug store opens coze it is midnight here. Pls help

garlic. a clove each one. it will clear it up .

Kudo's to you for not resorting to anti-biotics. Can't believe some of the stupid comments here.. I'm glad they are all well. They are very pretty too! I love chickens. My son is thinking of getting some chickens so this video was very helpful for future reference for him, sharing. God bless your you and your chickens. :)

some of chicks are bresthing heavily and i have to suffer 8 10 deaths due to it can you help ?

Can you show me where it's written that you cannot label eggs organic if they were given antibiotics once? I know they cannot be labeled "No antibiotics ever" or "raised without antibiotics" but organic standards do not stipulate that you can't treat sick hens, do they? I can't find this info anywhere.

My one hen is eating drinking got an eye infection but she struggling to get a sound out

I just got my first flock of chicks one has already died gasping for air now we have another amd we are afraid we are going to lose the whole flock would this work? Because we are about to try antibiotics chicks are hard to gdt right now and we don't want to lose them

Did you put it into drinking water or spray them or at it to their throats sorry I'm new and have a sick girl tyia

Do you know if this could help snakes with respiratory infections?? Thanks

How do you keep you coops and chicken diseases free and not letting the die from heat had 2 die from heat this summer need help ?

where can u get it?? I NEED IT MINE HAS IT TOO :(

I just added 4 new hens to my flock and almost all my chickens got sick i hope vetrx works it hurts me to see them i should've never got thse new hens please tell me ita gonna work

Brandon & MeredithWhich way did you use the VetRX ? It says it can be, but doesn't have to be diluted? Did you add it to the water also? did you put it under the wing or orally? Lots of different instructions on paper and your paper is 2014 the 2016 is different..... my hen is doing this too .

Very helpful thank you for this information!!

I need help my chick name Henry is sick he doesn't want to move and he keeps sneezing

wow chicken with antibitics will be sad. the eggs cannot be eaten :(

omg, our fave hen is doing this & it's July, but crazy temp changes may have contributed. I'm calling around in a panic and all stores are closed. ugh. other ideas in an emergency situation?? She's eating, but definitely having trouble breathing. This JUST started tonight. She's our dearest hen….Help please.

HELLO WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THAT MEDICATION, IT MAY BE BRANDED WITH A DIFFERENT NAME IN MY COUNTRY HERE, MY CHICKENS HAVE THAT INFECTION, 25 OF THEM

Ojalá y se pudiera subtitular al español

Does this work for game birds

No antibiotics unless it’s solely a pet. If you’re going to consume anything from that chicken and there’s nothing left to save it, let it go.

What did you show? Nothing! Not even how you applied it to the chicken or even the chicken's state after. This is just an ad!

Jeezus. There has been tons of research done on the use of antibiotics in laying hens, withdrawal times, etc. This is quite possibly CRD, or one of the othe rmyriad chronic respiratory diseases chickens can get, which they become carriers for. Of course they felt better after using this- they could breathe! Much like using Vicks for a toddler, VetRx helps cut through the mucous to ease respiratory effort so the chicken can actually rest and not fight for air. You were told to treat the whole flock because respiratory diseases are notoriously fast spreading diseases. 🙄

Hi guys, i have a hen that has been making the same noise on and off for about a year, i bought the vetrx and wondered how you administered it? the instructions are confusing with so many options! our hen has not shown any response to the medicine for 2 days and she has a small lump in between her wattles under her beak. she is worse after a dust bath! we thought she was ahsmatic! you can email me direct at utopia_station@hotmail.com and i will be grateful. she is getting worse and i think we may have to put her to sleep in a few days! i have put the diluted medicine on her head and neck and under her wings and also in the drinking water. thanks, mike

You never showed how to use Vet RX or even said what it is! gee whiz

I'm watching it in 2023

YES NO NO ANTIBIOTICS!!!🦆🐤🐥🐓🐔🦃

Just like vicks but for chickens.

Don't use that use filling filling are the pills pound sign are the pills

Not all hero wear hat

Okay so you don't know enough about chickens to diagnose a respiratory irritation or infection... but you will turn your nose up at the suggestions other more experienced chicken owners offered? If your chicken had died, I wonder if you would be so uppity about ORGANIC CHICKEN EGGS...
