What about the strength, is the 0.05% solution the right strength?

I have multiple waterers, I plan to make 5 gallons, or maybe 2 1/2. I have a plastic camping water jug for mixing and pouring, works great

So it makes 50 gallons at the 0.05% level, or 100 at the 0.25% level, so I think you need either 1/50th (2.14 grams) or 1/100th (107 grams)t he pack per gallon, right? Or is my math flawed?

Umm, yes, but we still love you. To make 5 gallons I will need 1/10th of a bag, the whole bag makes 50 gallons,I just move the decimal over by one place

 

[Garden Peas]

Oh, yes, you said per gallon, yes we are saying the same thing. I just don't know if that 0.05% is the correct strength (or should it be stronger or weaker) nor how many teaspoons are in the darned bag

Am think ing I need to look for gram scale

Can Peafowl get mareks? Mareks birds will become absolutely infested with worms of all kinds and will bounce back after treatment but then go downhill again as the illness progresses. I had a turkey come down with mareks, so I'm assuming that peafowl are the same- they usually don't get it but they can. the yellow fecal reminds me of liver damage from mareks and the black might be indicative or pancreatic issues. or the bird might just have worms. Lets not forget about tapes. Fenbendazole and albendazole are great for just about everything else, but praziquantel is still the only sure thing with those nasty helminths.


After reading the thread so far, I would have gone with sulfadimethoxazine and fenbendazole first. Then if no improvement, I would have gone with baytril but baytril should only be given to birds orally, the acidity in the stomach helps to increase its activity.

I would make sure that your vet is rotating dewormers. Giving the same dewormer- especially if its ivermectin- creates resistance in the parasite population.

My favorite treatments for coccidia are toltrazuril and sulfadimethoxazine- as far as I'm concerned, giving them amprolium is like giving them sugar water.

This was my second time worming them, i think he used different type coz i told him about that, Which one is fenbendazole? i think i don't have it.

Thank you for your help.

This pic wouldn't alarm me at all. Black feces i.e digested blood from small intestine, pancreatic or stomach/crop bleeding would be blacker, greasier looking. This looks like poop from a bird that's been eating insects, dirt and plant matter. A well-hydrated bird for that matter. And black/bloody poo smells horrible, I can't describe the smell but it doesn't smell like poo. Poo smell I have a resistance to, black/digested bloody poo is something that will give me pause every time I smell it.

There are big black beetles in my backyard, not sure if they some of them.

They smell normal, have not seen any blood yet.

I've seen thousands of pea poops, and I can guarantee you that the yellow ones you saw were *not* normal.
