Shoot for 800 grams, that might be a good weight for him.

Which one of these?

Does he feel thin?

That looks pretty good!

How old is he?

How much and how often one tubes really depends on how much weight they are gaining or losing. Are you weighing him daily?

Looks good!

The sharp edge might have cut him: Before you tube again, melt the end a little with a lighter.

That's unusual. Can you post a picture of your tube?

You're welcome! I hope he gets better. :hugs

A little in there is fine.

It is possible to insert it in the trachea. This is why I always feel for the tube in the esophagus before giving fluids or food. I go until the tube bottoms out in the crop, then back up a little. If you can feel the tube in the crop you know it's in the right place. Hard to go "too far"...

So sorry. :hugs What problems are you treating?

@PeachyLopez127, welcome to BYC and thanks for your post. How's your rooster doing?

the color is too green for me, keep an eye on it an hope it becomes less green.

What have you been tube feeding?

Yes, facing right, and I do not look, I just feel the tube in the esophagus and crop.

With the chickens, ducks, and peafowl I sit on the sofa with my thighs parallel to the ground. I place them in my lap with their feet on my left thigh and press them down and and against my torso with my left arm. Then with them pressed against my body I take my left hand, extend their neck...

Even the big ones (peafowl , turkey, and geese). :oops:
