Cochins passing pure blood - Cocci Kills

[4 Georgia Hens]

I just gave them each .5 mL of straight Corid.
I have seen the Cockerel drinking. I syringe fed the pullet 3mL of Corid water.

I have 6 3mL syringes on hand bought specifically for tube feeding. What I don't have is a tube. What can use for a tube if the need arises?

I am fully prepared to tube feed if I have to. Just need a tube.

I am also aware that I may lose them tonight.

I am praying for your babies to make it! Best of luck @Cyprus!

Thank you. I have had too much loss this spring already.

You can use aquarium air line, just melt the end a little so it's not too sharp. Do you know how much they weigh?

No. They're pretty light. I'd estimate about 1 pound each, slightly less.

If I were tubing fluids to ones that size I would try to get no less than 50 ml per day in them.

Okay. Can I just do that with a syringe or is tubing necessary?

Tubing is safer, but if all you have is a syringe that could work. Be sure to warm fluids first.

This is one thing you are going to love about having ducks... they are just so hardy and resilient. I have never lost one to disease or illness. Only predators and a nasty drake.
Here's hoping your duo pulls through!

Such beautiful birds!! I sure hope they pull thru for you! Some excellent helpers have been giving great advice. I’m pulling for ya!
