$75? It's sound and only a year old.

I'm so sorry you have to give up your little ones, too...

Hi Dana,

I know.

It looks like we aren't going to be able to get into our new place for over a week while the "underwriter" takes his sweet time...
So no place to keep the girls. I do have a dog crate maybe I could store them in there. But I could be up to 2 weeks. We just don't know and apparently neither does any of the money people!!

Frustration.

There is always the future though.

Dee, do you need just babysitter for a month? I hate seeing you have to give them up.

What size needle and what guage should I get for administering Tylan? Thanks

What is up?

The gauge is not critical. 21g is ideal and so is short. If you use a long needle and inject into the breast then only put in about 1cm.
The bird may not even feel/react to the injection.
Good luck!

I picked up a couple of birds and they have upper respiratory infections...sounds like Pneumonia. Lynne is giving me some Tylan but I want to have some on hand. I keep learning, lol. . . . so I'm adding to my arsenal.
Sick birds are on a heating pad in the garage FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR away from any other bird.

So you administer the Tylan intramuscular? Ugh!

They offer 20 and 22 guage needles. The shortest I can see is 3/4".

Speaking of sick chickens, i dosed all my birds with 1/2cc of Valbazen about a month ago, but there are still tapeworms in the poo. Did i not dose them enough? Or should i give them round 2?

You need to dose them a second time, 10 days after the first time in order to eradicate the eggs. I got this info from dawg53 .
