Please help! One dead D'Uccle, several sneezing including my peacock!

[angie3881]

Bought 8 new chickens at a sale, quarantined them for 30 days. Nothing appeared to be wrong and I noticed no symptoms to worry about. Turned them loose with the rest of my flock including a pair of peafowl. Went to the shed to open it this morning and one of my favorite girls was dead. I didn't notice anything wrong with her the day before. I have several chickens sneezing including my peacock- who just got his second eye feather. Mouths open. Otherwise they seem just fine. I'm just sick!!! What can I do?? Does anyone know what this could be?? I swear I will never buy someone else's birds when I don't know where they came from again!! Ugggggg...

if they are sneezing you need to get some tylan 50 and give them 1/4cc each that is the best thing you can use it treats resperatory problems. and yes it works

I know nothing about this. How do I administer? Where do I get it?

 

[KandiandJerry]

you can get it at your local tsc or feed store not real expensive like 10.00 a bottle you give it to them under there wing in the meat there

TSC. I'm not very knowledgeable, yet, but you can give it orally, perhaps on a favorite piece of bread you're sure they'll eat, or injectable. Anyone else?

Wondering if I have to inject it or feed it? I will get it tomorrow.. just not sure... how much?? I have 32 birds... do I treat them all?? Do I give the full grown peafowl the same amount that I give the tiny banties?? I don't want to lose anymore.

 

[angie3881]

Anyone??

 

[KandiandJerry]

I raise bantams also and that is all I use it comes in a bottle and it will last a while. yes I would treat them all just to be safe. however I have never tried to give it orally I always inject mine to assure they are getting it

 

[angie3881]

How much for the bantams and peacocks since they are so different in size??? How much do you give for yours and maybe I can post in the peafowl forum? What about normal size chickens?

 

[KandiandJerry]

I give my bantams 1/4 cc each bird the recommended dose for large chickens is 1/2 cc I dont know about the peafowl but if it was me I would use the large chicken dose on him
