Need some help with the right size needle for injecting duck feet. I am all out of needles and syringes. Was going to order some more, but not sure of the needle gauge i have been using. Have been using Master's Blend, so an insulin needle is too small and an 18 guage is too big. Can anyone help me out. Thanks.

Don't know if you have one nearby, but Tractor Supply, or maybe any other farm supply store has them in 21 & 22 gauge. You can buy in packs of 5 or 20 needles, with or without syringe.
I also use master blend usually in a 22 guage needle and 3-6cc syringe. I get mine at the wal-mart pharmacy but have used all the local drug stores at one time or another.
I use Master Blend and I've used as small as 25 and a big as 18, just depends on the size of the bird, but I do more with 18 or 20 guage than anything else.
