Some re3ally great videos here! The last one in the first post is the one that helped me the most when I was needing advice. This information has saved many, many lives. Here is a pic of some of the rigs I use.

That's funny, you asking ME! Kathy helped me tremendously when it came to picking out the right equipment to tube feed and I owe her a great amount of gratitude for her guidance.

I went to a medical supply house and bought a selection of catheters ranging from FR-10 to FR-28. I use the FR-12 probably the most for administering Safeguard when deworming and for small chicks that need emergency feeding. The FR-18 is great for up to yearlings, and the FR-24 or FR-28 is the most go to size for adult birds.

The 60ml syringe is an irrigation syringe that has a large tip on it that the catheters fit over snugly. Don't make the mistake of buying a regular tipped syringe as the feed will not flow through it. The syringes can be reused for a while but the rubber gets sticky and will need to be lubed with some silicone lube made for rubber.
