Correct dosage.

[Kirkland1610]

For peafowl. Grown 7-8 pounds. Dosage for LA 200. I see one post that says 1 cc and another that says 1/2 cc. Which is correct

I would use 50 mg twice a day, maximum. 50mg would equal 0.25 ml, so give that twice a day. Some use it orally or you can inject it into the breast muscle alternating sides.

That would be 400 mg (200mg per ml) which would be way too much for an injection. The old dosage for the water was 400 mg to 800 mg in a gallon of water which chickens would drink, but not all of that. Poultry DVM says 5 mg per Kg (each 2.2 pounds) given every 12 to 24 hours. I posted 2 links to help show dosage. The problem is this is a medication for cattle, not chickens, and it is being used off-label. So we cannot really go by some of the posts we see.
