what type of syringe for feeding orally?

[old biddy]

My peachicks are not taking their medicines (Safeguard for worming) in their food like I thought
they would. I know it is best to give Safeguard directly to each bird orally but I need to obtain a
proper syringe that will do the job without the risk of choking the bird. What type of syringe is used
for this? The ones I have don't have a long enough tip to reach behind the tongue and I don't want to
hurt my chicks. What type should I get? Any advice out there?

I used my kids children’s Tylenol syringe for regular chicks. I don’t put it in there mouth - I tip them a little sideways and put a little at a time on there beak. They drink it naturally. Depending on how many this process would be tedious though. I only do this for a sick chick now and then.

You need a gavage crop needle and 12 ml syringe.
