My daughters cockatiel was born with defects. One is that his top beak will not move so he can't eat seed. We feed him baby food. He is very under weight and now he has a swollen eye. We think his one eye lid is not getting moisture it looks dry. Any suggestions for a bird Jimmy
Well I regret saying that my peahen died a day after my last post. I gave her the wormer but no improvement. After she died we opened her up to see what could of caused it to help prevent spreading to other hen. We found her bottom was swelled like something was protruding from it then we found...

Thanks everyone for the info. I'm new at this and thanks Sunbaked I guess I have another year to wait for eggs I thought they started laying at 2 yrs but that will give me time to get an incubator. Is your hatch rate better with a incubator than hens? And not to sound stupid but how do you get...

Thanks casportpony Im still very new to peas so for their saftey I think I'll put 3cc in a gal of water. My peas are 4 and 5 mo. old an I haven't wormed them yet but by the sounds of it I better get started.

Thanks kuntrygirl thats the only kind I can find. Do you do as the direction say? Im going to pick some up tomorrow my peas are going to be 5 mo. this month.
Could someone tell me at what age I should start worming my peas and with what? I live in a rural area in PA and can only find safeguard and the ivermectin for larger animals. I did find a liquid of one of them that said you could give to turkeys.
