Merak's Vaccine Needle Gauge

[Goatlover09]

hello! i am researching vaccinating chicks for merak's since i want to hatch next year and i'm not sure if the needles I found are ok. they are 30 gauge and are already on 1 cc syringes. would those be ok? here is the link-https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Stainless-Industrial-Laboratory-Individually/dp/B0CFX6W8RP

also, do bantams need less vaccine than standards i keep seeing to give each birf 0.2 cc but i dont know if thats only for LF

I use a 27 Guage needle, I've purchased these below, and they have worked well. I'm about 100 chicks in to this vaccinating business. I don't know enough about needles to advise on 27g vs 30g.

Elimedical Veterinary Insulin Syringe, U-100, 1cc (1ml), 27G x 1/2 inch (12.7mm), Individually Packed, for Pet Cat or Dog, 100 per box, 10LDS2713B https://a.co/d/fy6zF7z

I was told to do 0.2mL for bantams as well as LF. I have done several tiny bantams this year with that dose and no issues. Bantams are challenging to vaccinate due to their small size, it's best with two people, one holding the chick and one doing the injection. Be very careful inserting the needle just under the skin, it is easy to go too deep, just take your time.
