Pullet Sneezing. Worse than I think.

[IrishAcreFarm]

Hi guys! I just gave my babies their second dose now, and one of them is obsessively trying to pluck at the injection site to the point of causing it to bleed. ( no blood when injecting) will this be ok? Sh is really messing with it any suggestions? This is one of my 2 week bantams. On a positive note, the sneezing is not as frequent!!

put some peck no more on the site and she will leave it alone. you can get it at the feed store. it also will treat the wound with natural tea tree oil. its rooster booster peck no more.its a purple lotion and works wonderfully! I use it whenever pecking is going on that shouldn't be.I'm so happy to hear they are better and you have done it! I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it! great job. I hope my posts were helpful. please keep me posted as your in my though thoughts and prayers. best wished to you and your flock!

Sorry this has turned out like this Luke. Know how much stress the little blighters can cause.

Are these guys quarantined?

Yeah, It is really stressing me

! Yes, thank goodness they are in quarantine!

Luke it may help to explain to your dad how cheap the medicine for these injections is. I know a lot of times when people hear about giving an injection rather than giving something orally one of the first things that comes to mind is that it must be much more expensive. Also, who will be taking care of the chickies when you're gone?

Yeah I will have to tell him that...one problem is I think we don't have it in aus!!! I cannot find it any where!

hi I was just thinking of you and wondering how are things going? did you go to the feed store? were you able to locate the Tylan50? did you give her injection yet? I hope you got a chance to see the video of chicken breast injection. when I gave my first breast injection I was a nervous wreck. but I was surprised how much using alcohol in the area helped my vision. just as above post says I was able to clearly see the fleshy area in the breast. remember to have a helper hold the bird and wings. this helped me greatly. but I was actually surprised the birds didn't even flinch none of my flock when getting their breast injection! so you see you won't be hurting the birds just helping them! remember your doses small bird is only 1/4CC large bird only 1/2CC. just once a day for 5 days. please keep us posted on how your doing I thought of you all evening yesterday. I wish I could just give the shot for you but sadly I can't... you can do this! just think how much better your bird will be! Nicole is correct and her advice is spot on. if you draw back the plunger and see blood NOT A BIG Thing just simply CHANGE position. not too close to keel and not too close to wing. I use keel bone as a guide. I go about three inches away from the keel right in the breast muscle not down low but up higher think of cleaning a chicken breast right in the good muscle area. it will be fast and after the first injection you will be a pro! please let us know how its going. thanks. best wishes

It's not going well, haven't gone to the feed store yet and I really don't think we can get it in Australia. So no I haven't injected into her.
Thanks for thinking of me

. One Q, what are CC's. In Aus we do Milliliters.
It does sound easy and I think I can do it...I JUST need to find the stuff first! Is there anything else that would do the same job?!?!

A millilitre is a cubic centimetre = cc

Oh O.K, thanks Ash.

Update:

This morning everything is the same. Still sneezing but not worsening.

I have just emailed my Feed stores and they DO NOT sell Tylan 50

. I am just over this now...

Is there anything else I could use?
