    11 wk Marans pullet is not walking correctly, weak, standing on legs with neck stretched out forward.

    Good news: today both are significantly recovered. It was gradual, first sign they were improving was going back on feed and water, being able to walk again followed by holding their heads up correctly. Now they are acting somewhat normally. I did get in contact with someone who runs commercial...

    11 wk Marans pullet is not walking correctly, weak, standing on legs with neck stretched out forward.

    A cockerel is acting the same way now. That rules out injury. Has to be either contagious or they ate something. He is also isolated and will keep an eye on everyone else.

    11 wk Marans pullet is not walking correctly, weak, standing on legs with neck stretched out forward.

    That is a possibility, they free range. We don't have trash sitting around but you never know, it is an old barn so she could have eaten a nail or something silly too. Neck injury is possible, roosters haven't been aggressive but there are also older birds that the flock was gradually integrated...

    Sinus Infection on Peahen?!

    Yes, ended up removing carefully with dull dentist's hook thing from the store & then sprayed with vetricyn because I had slightly nicked her the night before trying to use tweezers. Seems all cleared out now, will keep an eye on her.

    Sinus Infection on Peahen?!

    Ended up using warm water, tweezers, and olive oil. Was not able to get it all in one (she got too hot pinned down under me while I worked because it was in the 90's outside) but the next night went back & got everything out I hope!

    Sinus Infection on Peahen?!

    Birds have all been doing well this year until whatever is going on here. She just laid a clutch of eggs and I saw her nose has a bump on top, nostrils are clogged. What is the recommended treatment for this??? She is acting normally otherwise, eye looks normal too. They are kept separate from...

    Peafowl death?

    Hi, one of our peahens was dead in the run this evening… did not immediately notice because she was in the corner behind roost. Flies had gone after one eye socket. :( Did a limited autopsy because the barn cats would not leave me alone. Some possibilities: There is a sharp piece of brown...

    Getting peafowl shortly, need advice on feed!

    Okay, I will see if anyone has gamebird or pheasant available locally. Seems like the meat bird feed would not be a good option based on what you said.

    Getting peafowl shortly, need advice on feed!

    Getting them as adults, someone wants them gone so they are cheap. Do adults still need gamebird?

    Getting peafowl shortly, need advice on feed!

    I had read the intro, but the question seemed too specific. So would both protein percents be too low, or? I saw people saying 20-30% protein was OK other places online. Is the duck feed similar enough to pheasant feed, or are the extra vitamins too much?

    Getting peafowl shortly, need advice on feed!

    Are vitamins or a higher protein content more important in feed? I am comparing two pellets. Also are the vitamin levels in the lower feed too high for peafowl? One feed is for meatbirds: 22 percent protein, 1.2 lysine, 0.5 methionine, 3.5 fat, 4 fiber, 0.75 calcium, 1.25 max calcium, 0.6...
