Good to know Kathy! And my Peachicks will probably not hit dirt til they are much older..lol..
Call me an over protective momma but I've waited too long for these little guys and am trying to do right by them starting by keeping them healthy... What else can I say!

If you don't already have one, get a scale and weigh them once a week, that will help you keep them healthier.

What kind of scales do I need to get and would Tractor Supply carry it or where do I find one?

I just wrote you on the other thread! I don't know if TSC carries them. Someone told me Walmart sells them. I need to get a new one too because mine are getting to big to stand on the small scale I have. I bought my scale to weigh eggs. I got it in one of those hippy shops. (No offense to anyone intended, I just don't know what else to call it )

Can I worm peachicks with Valbazen instead of safeguard? Is one better then the other?

You can use Valbazen. Dose is 0.018 ml per 100 grams once orally and repeat in ten days. That one day dose will treat all but gapeworms.

Thank you so much. I'm going to order a small bottle now. Kathy, aren't you the one that's great with conversions & dosages? Can I PM you if any need any help with that?

I wouldn't say that I'm great with them, but I try to be thorough and accurate. Just PM me their weights and I'll help you calculate a dose. Ounces, pounds or grams, we can get you a dose!
