Keith you need to keep in mind that fences do not keep out diseases as long as us humans freely move from one pen to another carrying all the little critters with us. I will add my voice to the choir and say I also doubt worms killed your peachicks. Like the others I would suspect cocci first...

Hello. It would be best to leave her alone as she will know when it is time to leave her nest. If you are going to allow her to walk her chicks around on the ground you should also consider adding either Corid or Di-MethoX to their drinking water. Both of these meds have their plus and minuses...

With goats the use of corid to treat coccidiosis has the draw back in that the corid inhibits Thiamine in order to kill the cocci thus the five day treatment recommendation. The drawback is that the goat needs the Thiamine in order to have a functioning rumen thus after the five day corid...

Wf1992 years ago my peas used to wander until I learned what I needed to do to keep them home. The furthest they were from home was a mile and a half. No doubt they can and do stray much further than that. Since you are not familiar with peas you might want to not try to try any help with his...

This is an interesting post and even though this is the peafowl section a health issue is a health issue as with peafowl and chickens it is normally the peas that die. Can you say what the necropsy revealed and what they felt killed 28 chickens.

Hi Izigg. Sorry to hear of your sick birds. Hope you are able to get a handle on it. I raise many goats and one thing known in the goat world is that when you walk into your barn and find several goats down, either dead or dying, you can forget about disease as poisoning is the culprit. Either...

Thank you for this posting. As you know many of the meds are now by prescription only but that should not scare any peafowl owners who care about their birds health from getting these meds. On line veterinary supply businesses will let people order prescription meds as long as they supply their...

You are welcome. Valley Vet will have what you need in the goat med section or in the case of metronidazole in the aquarium section. They have only a sixty count of metronidazole for $57.00 so you may want to check for Fish Zole online for a smaller bottle at a lower price. The only med rush is...

Sorry to hear that but I thought that due to the low price it would sell quickly. Good luck with your search. I sold seven ten month old pea hens in four days on CL in April at two times the price in the Utica CL just to give you an idea as to what pea hens are worth.

There is a ton of good information on this website in regard to pea health. I am assuming that your peachicks are very young as in weeks old. You need to have a medicated chick starter feed to help prevent coccidiosis and a supplement of corid in their water every so often will also help. With...

I raise South African Boers goats and India Blue peafowl. I wish that I had known that within a few years I would have to become a pharmacist and run a pharmacy from my home. Your biggest concern with your new peachicks is to be ready to save them from coccidiosis, worms and blackhead in that...

One for sale on CL in Utica posted on May 18th.

Far in the past I used to have aggressive roosters and they would end up in the pot. Thinking the problem over and seeing that they felt they could dominate me and others I tried something that has always changed any aggression in any roosters since. Saving nice birds from the pot. I have never...

KsKingBee thank you for posting this. Dylansmom always came across in her pea posts as a wonderful, caring person who always tried to help everyone with their pea questions without any sarcasm. Her family and this pea family here has lost a wonderful person.. Very sad. FC

Birdrain92 and Kskingbee thank you for the help. This is the first time I Kept any cameo chicks so was not aware how brown the juvenile males are compared to the juvenile females. The pic taken in October of the juvenile pair was perfect. Obviously I have four females just as the genetic chart...

That is what I asked as like Birdrain92 stated technically they are all supposed to be female. As for sexing these cameo colored IBs the coloring of all four is identical with no obvious feathers to show sex and of course since they are cameo there are no markings visible. If you can disclose a...

Need some help with cameos. This year I got quite a few cameos and have retained four who are seven months old. I have always heard/read that when you use a IB split cameo male with an IB female that all cameo chicks will be female. In watching these birds I see them all being the same color...

Happy New Year to all. Hopefully 2017 will be a good year for all. I do have a genetics question for those familiar with cameos. This year I got quite a few cameo chicks and though most have been sold I am keeping four until Spring. My question is since I used a IB male split cameo with IB...

Pretty brutal conditions. Sorry for your hubby's mistake and losing those birds. Our winter of 2014-2015 was particularly brutal with a three week period of nightly wind chill temps of minus 60 to minus 70. All my birds were protected from the winds and wet snow and all survived. After this...

Sorry for the loss of your birds. It does get hard sometime. I live in an extremely cold area with minus twenty common and minus thirty five on occasion and have never had cold related bird deaths. With losing so many at the same time I would also think it might be something other than zero...
