I just realized that I misquoted my dosages, I use one ounce (2 TBS) per gallon not 2 tsp per gallon. The best way to deworm is oral if you can catch them all to do it but the second best is to use a water-soluble dewormer like Valbazen.
Oh my, that should read one ounce per 2 gallons, for some reason I do not have an edit button on that reply.

My four peachicks are 6wo now. They're outside with about 4x8 closed run. This is my first time so I'm not sure what's normal behavior/posture for these birds. Is the hunched, a little droopy wing stance normal? I notice it more in the brown ones than the pied.
They're on 22% game crumble, with meal worms and greens for treats, electrolytes in water (hydro-hen) every other day. I have poultry cell vitamins, should I try adding that to their water on alternate days?
Thoughts / tips welcome.

I would be concerned and treat all of them on an every-two-week schedule at the preventative dosage.
They should not be hunched, though standing with their wings down is normal. Their primaries are often a little too heavy at that age for the muscle they have. But hunched means they're probably cold. Do they have access to a heat lamp that is protected from drafts?
