Advice Needed Please! Getting Peachicks soon and need some advice!

[NanaB15]

This may be a silly question, but do you give any of your fowl antibiotics, medication, anything of that sort? Hopeful for a reply! We just got some peachicks, about to have them in an aviary by our chicken pin, and just curious if we need to continue them on medicated chick feed starter or if they are good to stay on game feed. TIA!

You are going to need to treat them for cocci and worms at least once per month for a while.

Also scroll to the top of the main Peafowl page and read the stickies on care and maintence.

Thank you @KsKingBee! I currently have my chickens on Corrid. Will this be okay for my peachicks as well?

 

[KsKingBee]

Corid does not work very well for peas but it is better than nothing, I recommend either toltrazuril or Baycox. Sulfadimethoxine is also very good but tricky to work with as overdosing will look the same as a bird that has cocci.

@KsKingBee Thanks again! The toltrazuril and Baycox, would TSC carry that or will I need to order it on Amazon?

Thank you so much!

It would need to be ordered from Canada. It is pricey but very effective. https://horseprerace.com/toltrazuril-5-200ml/
