Rubber catheter type feeding tubes are dirt cheap, as in less than $1 each from a medical supply store. They come in "French" sizes from 3-34. The smaller the number, the smaller the tube. The smallest one I use is an 8 and I use that on all baby chicks. I think metal crop tubes are sized in gauges, so for those the smaller the number, the larger the tube. The sizes I use most are 8, 10, 16,18 and 30.
Here is the size 8

@tracyjg - Hi there. Is there any particular reason for the last 3 pages of posts? Just curious. They seem like random pics along with some posts by casportpony copied and pasted, but not in response to any questions that I've seen here.

It would be great if you could combine whatever you want to say/share into fewer posts. Feel free to browse posts other members have made. They combine pics and/or several sentences into one post rather than many, many posts with one sentence or picture per post.

Thanks in advance! This will cut down on the clutter and confusion.
