OK. I got some Valbazen and scrounged up a measuring syringe - the type with a bulb on one end to draw in the medicine. Well that didn't work worth a hoot! Valbazen is only slightly runnier than Elmer's glue and once the first dose was sucked into the syringe the inside was coated with thick milky goo and I could not read the level of the next dose.
Off to Walgreens to get a plunger-type syringe. Thankfully they had something that would measure 1/2 ml.
Back to trying to pump this stuff down the chickens' throats. They would have none of it!! I tried grabbing the waddles and they fought it like the dickens.
So what is the technique? How to you open their beaks wide enough to get the syringe in? How to you get them to hold their head still?
