The dosing is very simple. 1/2 cc (or mL) for a standard bird, 1/4 cc for bantams. No need to worry overmuch about the dose. You are unlikely to overdose if you follow that guideline. I like to apply it to the bare areas under their wings where the feathers are quite thin. It needs to be applied to bare skin in order to be effective. When I do my birds it is generally a 3 person job- one to fill syringes, one to hold birds and one to apply it. The person filling syringes is also responsible for my checklist to make sure I am getting each bird and not double dosing any of them. I have it down to a pretty slick science at this point. It used to be much harder when I was trying to do it all by myself, but since I enlisted the rest of the family to help the job goes much quicker and smoother.

Ok what about chicks? That are possibly 2 months? Ok so I basically just put it up under fhe wing (arm pit area) on the skin? On just one side or both?

 

[TherryChicken]

So it'll be 1/2 ml?

You can break it up however you wish. If it seems like a lot at one site then split the dose up. The two month old chicks I would treat as bantams. They are halfway through their skeletal growth, so it stands to reason that they are half-sized standards.

 

[TherryChicken]

Ok and it is 1/2 and 1/4 ml? Doesn't seem much, I guess it doesnt take much?

 

[CMV]

No, it doesn't. Remember it is formulated for cows.

 

[TherryChicken]

Do I delute in water or get it and put it straight on the chicken in one spot? Do I treat in 11 days or 14?

 

[TherryChicken]

I saw where someone used it and deluted it with water and painted it on the chicken in 4 different areas on the skin and then re did it again in 11 days
