You could go the the Walmart pharmacy and purchase a 10 pack of 1 cc diabetic needles. They work wonderfully.
Mike Gilbert:
When I order vaccine from First State Vet Supply they send the needles along gratis. Also, I usually disinfect the needles with alcohol, rinse with water, and reuse them. I think I now have a lifetime supply.
John:
I get 20 gauge, 1/2 \" needles from Cutler\'s that work great.

Well, I called Walmart and they didn\'t have 25 ga, they had smaller sizes. I was told by Jean, who heard it from her vet, not to go smaller than 25 ga or the virus will be broken up when it passes through the needle. So, if John uses 20 ga, I imagine my 22 ga won\'t be too large for the chicks.
