Help - Peahen Keeps Lying Down in Corner

[zazouse]

Wonderful news i have been so busy i missed your post, you need to worm her again a couple more days and i would worm them all to be on the safe side, you can use the scrambled egg method if they like them they will never know they were wormed

Thanks you two!
Zaz I am worming all of them too, but when you say I need to keep worming her do you mean keep oral dosing or just putting it in the water & feed is good?

I have been busy too. I am required to take 9 hours worth of summer classes and I have skipped taking summer classes for the past 2 summers so now I am taking all 9 hours (3 classes) this summer. I am in one classroom right now but class hasn't started yet. I am worried this one will really be draining on me because we will be making a lot of sculptures and the last class I took like that was a ton of work spending all day on projects, etc. hopefully I can find a good balance between having fun this summer and my classes.

Minx IMO each birds needs at least 1 cc for three days in a row and they will not get that from drinking water unless they drink alto of water so i recommend mixing it in scrambled eggs or make a mash out of their feed using the wormer and watered down wormer ,

I leave this out as an only food source and it always gets eaten by noon ., you can oral does if you want but we all know how peas can be when being handled, i prefer not to ruffle their feathers unless they are sick and need medication , then i put them in a huge dog kennel so they can be monitored better. this is just what has worked for me.

I was giving them the safeguard in their water and mixing it into some crumbles as well so they were eating and drinking the safeguard. I am waiting the 10 days and then I will repeat the process. Snow White is doing well although today she was looking like she is ready to lay an egg so hopefully that will go well.
