I can't speak for Peaceeagle but from the poo pics and other symptoms I have seen on here I am pretty sure I have a case of blackhead. I will be starting him on fishzole tonight and give him a full 5 day treatment. I hope it won;t hurt but it has been my experience with birds that when they do...
Ok, so will it hurt to treat them if it isn't blackhead? And what about using the fishzole with the cocci treatment that Peaceeagle already started?
That is some very good information, thank you Minxfox.
I have a male showing the same symptoms you just described. I wormed him 2 days ago with valzaban tho. Interested to see what some of the pros on here think. I'll attach a pic of his poo. Tell me if this looks anything like yours Peaceagle. The poo looks more greenish than in this photo...
I penned him where the rest could see him. Some of the girls would hang around him and lay near the fence. He still seemed aggressive for a while (not sure how long). When he was turned lose he seemed to enjoy his freedom and wasn't so intent on protecting his stature.
It's a real mystery how...
I had almost the same situation you have Pyxis and I took the bully and penned his butt up by himself for about 2 weeks. When I let him free he had seemed to have cooled his jets and didn't go after some of the others as bad. I don't know why but it did seem to calm everyone down and they all...
The ointment is good. Keep it clean and make sure she isn't bleeding or has a large open wound that would require stitches. I would start her on some antibiotic such as Tylan 200 injection asap. If you aren't experienced with injecting them or not comfortable with it then look over the forms...
Sheesh YEA!!! I'm serious Cetawin!
The OP is obviously not a poultry farm owner and this is a pet. So yea, lets NOT be so fast to grab the axe and start wackin because of a blurry photo. Besides if this is MG at this stage the others are probably contaminated anyway.
Lets not put her down so fast. This could be something that she got in her eye or ear or ate even. I would separate her and see if she showed more signs and symptoms before I actually put her down. Have a look down her throat. Shine a flashlight up her nose holes and see if there is...
@ Jenreinke, In a pinch I have taken an egg yoke mixed with a small amount of water or gatorade in an eye dropper to give them something to help them out until I could get the meds they needed. If it is cocci, the antibiotic won't do any good for her anyway.
Oh they are beautiful Zazouse. How old are they in that pic? Mine are doing more things everyday and the top of my head is still the preferred roost for them.
Oh I didn't know the females fanned too. I'm really new to peafowl. Never been around them until these hatched. I tried looking to sex them. Guess I'm gonna have to wait and see. But that is exciting too. These guys are so much fun.
I know you probably love all animals and you don't want to hear this but....
Put the airsoft away and get the AR-15 out. I tried using humane traps, etc. Coons catch on to this pretty quick and will just reach around the sides and take the bait inside and not go in. After losing several of...
How old were your ducklings?
I usually won't let mine in the water until around 3-4 weeks. And then it's a bath tub with warm water in a heated room at 80-85 plus. Then it's right back to the brooder after drying them off. Sometimes their core temps can drop so low that there is no way they...
Yes he is a little cameo from 2 cameos I am told. I also have 2 white males that hatched with him. His egg was smaller than the whites and he is a lot smaller. I am new to peafowl but all 3 are doing their little dances already so I am assuming they are all males. I LMBO when they do that...
Sorry you are having a bad first experience WRVgirl but it's not usually like that.
I totally agree with Lizard Feet on the Tylan 200 from TSC and searching the forums for more info. It's there I'm sure. I wish I knew the forums better to give you a link. You can even find how to give them...
