How to worm peafowl

[Sylv]

I admit I am being lazy and I expect this is already on this site somewhere but can't look through all the posts for it, but when I got my 3 lads the seller said worm them by putting the wormer in the water. She did not say how much! If anyone knows of an easy way to worm them I would really like to know please. If I have to catch them I will but they are just getting more confident and I would rather not spoil that by grabbing them if at all possible.

Use the search button above and go to advanced search. Put worming peafowl in the parameters and choose the peafowl sub-section. You will end up with more info than you wanted.

@KsKingBee uses Valbazen in the water, so you could try that. Sadly, I think of you do a search you will find a bunch of posts that say it's okay to use Safeguard in the water, but they are wrong.

If you want something truly water soluble, get some Wormout Gel. Dose is 47 ml per gallon for two days, repeat in 10-14 days.

Thanks for that. Clear recommendation AND the dose, just what I needed. Are those US gallons I think I might have to adjust it a bit for UK gallons.

If I did my math correctly, I think it would be ~57 ml/UK gallon or ~13 ml per liter.

Always check my math, lol!

A big "duh" moment . If you're in the UK, see if you can get some Flubenvet (flubendazole). That gets mixed into feed and should have dosing instructions on the package!

I have ordered Wormout (from Australia!). Maths has never been my strong point, after 3 A4 pages of working out I make it 11ml (well 10.93 exactly) per litre. Or 6.2ml per uk pint. My brain is now fairly scrambled and I might look for Flubenvet!
