When treating several chickens

[Chickenheadmate]

Should you use different syringes to orally give them the meds? Or would the same one work as long as we rinse it?

If they are touching the tip of the syringe. I would not use the same one for each bird. I would use separate syringes for each bird and a clean one for each dose after cleaning. Or just use once and toss disposable. If you are treating for something highly contagious. I would use once and dispose.

Agreed. I will reuse syringes when I am worming, I don't have any illness in my flock. If I had, or suspected that I was treating something viral or bacterial, I would not reuse between birds. Better safe than sorry.

Thought so, thanks!
I'll just take some extra ones from work
