breeding season

[Tony K T]

Well the pens are set for breeding season.New xmas trees and fresh straw spread thru their pen and in their nest boxes.Now just wait until March and see who lays the first egg.Maybe Feb with the peacock hen as she lays a little earlier then the others.All that's left to do is worm them in Feb.and then wait for chicks to appear.

Hi tony how do I worm them ?

 

[Tony K T]

I use Ivemec 1cc per gallon of water.They should be wormed 2 times a year and your diggers,impeyans,eareds,and cheers 3 times.Tractor Supply(TS) carries it or you can order it online,but I think TS is cheaper and no shipping cost.I do mine in Feb and again in August.After your fist worming you need to repeat 10 days after to kill the cycle.

Does that mean you just put it in their water ?

 

[Tony K T]

That's what I do.Some people inject it,but I don't trust myself ecspecially with a jumpy gamebird.I drain their water for a day so when I put the meds in they are sure to drink it.

Usually most pheasants start to lay late March early April.
