The lads

Amazing bird! Do you have any photos with the train down to get an idea of the body colour!

Hi Bev! You should be able to, but I've never tried. Sometimes I struggle a bit with the tech vagaries of this site!!

You can use Worm Out tablets or Avitrol plus tablets. They do all worms, including tape worm. They need to be orally administered. Or Avitrol plus liquid wormer in the water. Could also be symptomatic of a cocci infection. Easily treated. When did you worm last?

I've thought this myself when needing to medicate, or move birds. I feel, as they're essentially still a wild bird, they would have a powerful flight response even while roosting. Having a bird flying blindly at night could cause a lot of damage, so I've never attempted it. Interested to hear...

Thanks Fizzy. She had a sister, but she was taken by an eagle. I caught it red clawed! Couldn't be mad though as he is a stunning bird. They breed each year near our place. I also have some Sussex and Welsummers and a little OEG duck wing rooster. Hoping to add Spangled Hamburg and possibly...

What amazing looking birds! If I get anything close to this I'll be over the moon.

She's a Dark Pied! I'm pretty excited to see her chicks.

Here's two...

Here's one!

Is Beatrice a Belgian?! I've a trio of black ones. They're great little layers, fly well and have brilliant personalities. Beatrice is gorgeous.

I'm putting her with the white rooster in the background for her first season this year.

These rather unspectacular photos are an attempt to capture the green and bronze sheen from my peahen's tail coverts.

How did this chick go?

If they're not feather mites you can put Cydectin for cattle (injectable) in their water. I use it as a rotational wormer for my peafowl and chickens. I dose at the rate of 5ml per L. This may be overkill, but this product has high safety margins.

Hi Fizzybelle. I've had the same thing happen with a peacock. There was blood involved as well! The skin flap was lifted right up. All healed well, in about a week. Cheers.
