Safeguard 10%(Fenbendazole) goat or cattle drench will kill more types of worms, so more bang for your buck. It is also very forgiving and hard to OD your birds with it. I used Wazine myself many, many years ago before I knew safeguard was better. My vet actually prescribed panacur (fenbendazole) for worming so I asked about the panacur vs. safeguard and he said they are the exact same, just a different brand name.
 
Ok I bought everything at the store what should I start with. The antibiotic, wormer, or corid. And how much of each do I need to give him. I can't figure out how to treat just one baby peacock,". The package does not say anything.

This guy is not acting sick yet correct? If so, start with a preventative dose of Corid in the water. This needs to be mixed fresh each day if you have Corid powder mix 1/3 teaspoon in a gallon of water, if you have Corid liquid mix 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon of water. This needs to be the only source of drinking water available. For the wormer, if you have the safeguard and are not able to get a weight I would give 1/2 cc orally for 3-5 days in a row (If you mean the Wazine, I have no idea, it's been at least 10 years since we used that). Use a 1cc syringe or a pipette works as well, make sure you get it way down in the throat past the windpipe(you will see the opening to the windpipe as a small circular opening right behind the tongue) Do not get any in the windpipe, that can kill them. Repeat the worming in 10 days. Use the Corid for a week, if he still seems okay stop it and just watch him. Keep an eye on poops, worms, cocci and BH can all cause loose bloody stools, if the stools look good and he is eating and drinking he should do fine. Once they are a year old you seldom ever have problems with cocci again, unless they become ill with something else and it presents as an opportunistic infection because their resistance is compromised. Worming is usually don 2-4 times per year depending on the environment and climate. We do it twice a year up here in PA. If he is not acting sick there is no need to use the antibiotic just yet, it was most likely cocci or worms that killed the whites, so we'll treat for the most likely culprits first.

how would i tell if he is sick

At this point from what you said in earlier posts he seems okay, that is why you would use the "Preventative" dose of Corid, not the "Treatment" dose. Worms are something we all treat for whether we have fecals done or not we just treat because they are so common. The whites died from something, we just don't know what, so we are trying to keep that from happening to this guy. Signs of illness would be loose, discolored, or bloody feces. Lethargy, ruffled feathers, weight loss, nasal discharge, swelling around the eyes, gaping, panting, etc.......
 
Over time you will be able to notice small differences in them like standing about drooping their wings, and hunching their backs. Some obvious things will include swelling of the face, eyes, runny or crusty nasal discharge, yawning, coughing, sneezing, gasping for air, runny poo, sometimes with a bloody or rusty color. Some worms can actually be seen in the poo but I personally have not seen that.
 
him is fluffy with his head putted back. (he is not holding it straight nlike normal does that mean anything
