Try that, and turn off all lights, even heat lamp.

That's sort of what I was thinking. I read somewhere that birds do best when *not* under lights 24/7... Read it in a few places, actually, some in veterinary books, and the other was somewhere here: http://en.aviagen.com/. It said something about normal sleep cycles and how it helps the bird process food correctly.Othman, I am guessing at this point the other pea is finished or very close to finished with the Metronidazole course, has been wormed and has been on Baytril a couple of days. I am wondering if the stress of medication and lack of just general sleep is stressing the bird. I think I would be tempted to stop all medications and make that pen dark for 6-8 hours. Remove all food and water for that period. When that time is up feed a sweet fruit or scrambled egg and see if it takes to the food right away. I just wonder if this bird has not been wound so tight that he is off the feed and stressed.
....and put one single friend in their with him for that period as well.
Yes.Is he getting all of the same medications the other pea chick was getting?
He got 4 days metro pills and 3 days Baytril, i have brought him a company yesterday and turned off the lights at night, he eats normally btw.Othman, I am guessing at this point the other pea is finished or very close to finished with the Metronidazole course, has been wormed and has been on Baytril a couple of days.
