Maybe someone can write a how to catch peafowl article and submit it to: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/other-backyard-poultry-ducks-quail-turkeys-geese-etc They need some articles written by people that have peafowl. -Kathy

This is true, and I did break the neck of a little duckling with a net. -Kathy

Edited the post with my number in it. If you don't have it, but would like it, just send me a PM and I'll reply with it. -Kathy

Question... did your worm her for one day or five? -Kathy

I have no issues with posting about chickens here. :D -Kathy

She looks much better. It's truly amazing what a little heat and sugar water can do for them. Quite often it's all they need and they will start eating on their own. Aren't you glad you tried tubing? -Kathy

That's a good sign! How about a picture of her standing and walking? -Kathy

No doubt in my mind, she is *very* sick, and sick birds are almost always dehydrated. -Kathy

Okay, so she can hold her head up, so that makes her a good candidate for tubing fluids to. Try to get the 30ml into her and see how see does. If she does okay with it, and the fluids clears her crop, do it again in 30-60 minutes. -Kathy

Everyone, you're all welcome to call or text my cell if you ever need to. :D -Kathy

Warm fluids with maybe a little corn syrup should be tubed first, then again in 60-90 minutes, but only once she's warm enough. Sick birds are almost always hypothermic and tubing a hypothermic bird can kill it. -Kathy Edited to remove my number.

Fluids first, then food: http://www.lafebervet.com/avian-medicine-2/avian-nutrition/tube-feeding/ -Kathy

Best to keep her in a warm room (80-85 degrees). -Kathy

I use Safeguard and Corid together, so it's not that. Can you go get some aquarium air line? Or go to a small animal vet office and buy a tube? If you get the aquarium air line, you need to modify the end with a lighter to melt the edges so it's nice and smooth. -Kathy

Most that use albendazole in poultry do repeat the dose in ten days. -Kathy

A source for the Kuhl net: http://www.qcsupply.com/shop-by/brand/kuhl/catching-nets.html -Kathy

I think I like that one and the Kuhl one better than the fishing nets. -Kathy

X3 on the leg catching... I read somewhere that there is a large vein that attaches to the liver and that catching them incorrectly can cause injury to the vein and death from internal bleeding. But I don't remember where I read that, so don't quote me on it, lol. -Kathy
