Where do I inject IM PennG ???

[Arielle]

Have a 8 m Speckled Sussex pullet injured and in need of PennG. WOuld like to give 1/2 cc IM everyother day. Which muscle do I give it in?? THe breast muscle is a little thin and one leg is also injured. Use the good thigh? and alternate with the one with injury at hip?

I feel so helpless with so little experience with chickens, so many thanks for your answers.

THank you IMP ! Just the info I needed. Funny I was reading Three Horses BYC page for info but missed her own website. So thank you very much.

OK. First injection done. Trying to be careful to only push needle in 1/4 inch--so delicate compared to a big horse!--and got a splotch of white--oops, that indicated SQ, so pushed needle a little deeper. No squawk though! Maybe because she was awoken at 9:30 pm for the shot.

Thanks IMP.
