hi there. i have 3 peahens and one peacock sharing the same pen, all are about a year old at this point. the peacock might be a little younger than the females. one or all of the girls have laid an egg in the last few days and they are not being sat on. from what i've read, it's unlikely that...
So are you saying I should deworm them again? I took your advice and made a mash last time, they ate it right up. They're not showing any symptoms like drooping or being ruffled. They weren't sneezing yesterday, but today they're back at it and the youngest chick seemed like he had a hard time...
I don't know if i'm overreacting. I have 7 peachicks all raised on the dirt, given safeguard for five days starting on the 11th and just started giving them medicated feed. They also get greens and mealworms daily, but they haven't been,too eager for their,snacks the last two days. They have...
Thanks for the info, I won't buy another bag after this one then. I appreciate your checking the genders for me! I only ended up with half this group, however. Here is a recent pick if you want to narrow it down for me. It was taken on the 11th. I'm no expert but I'm starting to think I have two...
Okay, will it hurt them? I just started adding some of the medicated feed today to their normal feed to acclimate their diets. I bought a 55lb bag of it . Also, I'm not sure of their age exactly, 3 months is a guess. Here's a picture from the breeder of the bunch they came from. It was taken on...
Hey there! Ive been waiting for a store to get medicated feed for about a month now, had the birds a little longer than that. They are probably 3-4 months old, is it okay to switch from normal gamebird feed to medicated at this point?
If shes dehydrated maybe someone can reccomend a way to tube her some liquids, maybe electrolytes? I'm sorry im new to raising peafowl, but maybe someone more knowledgable has a suggestion for you. Hope she gets better.
Ive been wondering lately howbthe world looks through my peababies eyes. In an internet search to find out how well my feathered friends can see in the dark, i stumbled across this article. Take a look, its not entirely about peafowl, but worth a looksy. Have a great day everyone...
Hey, im trying to determine if my chicks might be spalding. Other than the tight crest, what would be some indicators? They are probably about 3-4 months old. Would a green wing feather be a sign?
Hey all. Does anyone know how long runny or watery poop should happen after a 5 day treatment of safeguard? I gave the last doses on the 16th, and one or two of these birds are having watery clear poops today. The others are pooping normally. All look and act healthy and active.
I think they're doing okay. They're preening a lot, dust bathing and sneezing still. Im noticing some head scratches and saw one rubbing its nose on the ground. Ive been eyeing up their nasal cavities and eyes,but dont see anything coming out. Did you have a picture of a clogged or crusty nasal...
