@KsKingBee Can you explain the difference between the wild barring on the males versus the hen? I have a couple from the Low Spaulding male I got from you and I always thought the barring was male. Can you tell how to tell the difference?
@KsKingBee I have been found a dosing of Toltrazuril 5% (Baycox) is 3.75 cc per gallon of water for peacocks. Should I assuming this is the adult dose.
- Is it safe for chicks and what should be the dose?
- How long should it be given? One day?
It is not cheap, it is now $120.00 at...
I was able to purchase Toltrazurin, it is expensive, the price has increased significantly since I purchased it at https://toltrazuril.net/ in the US. I was told the dosing for the 5% is 3.75 cc/gal of water. Thisis the adult dose, I do not know the chick dose or if it is safe for them.
What we do is to place the new arrival in a separate pen where they can see each other but not touch for about 30 days. This pic is when new birds arrived while we were completing the new coop. The peacocks could visits and become accustomed to one another.
Took the chick to the avian vet recommended by our vet. She said it was a slipped tendon. Talked about her quality of life as there was nothing that could done to correct the problem and made the right decision to let her go to where she will be whole again.
I rolled his tendon back in place and have it taped. I have wrapped both legs so he can move around easier. I am going to see if I can get him to the vet for X-rays and decide on next steps. I wonder what survival rates are.
Could he get around on one leg?
I believe this happened after putting him in a Wire cage after putting it on blocks to get it off the ground. It appears the one leg may have gotten stuck and he pulled to get unstuck. One leg is backwards and the other in the front, like doing a split. The tendon doesn’t appeared slipped...
