You can buy tylan soluable or tylan 50 injectable. Dosage for the tylan soluable is 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Make a fresh mixture daily and the only source of water for 7 days. You have to add the water to the tylan, not the tylan to the water. The problem with soluables is that you dont know if the birds will drink it, or drink enough of it to be effective. Sick birds wont drink at all. This is why I'd prefer to administer orally if I had sick birds, that way I'd know they got properly dosed.
You can inject the tylan 50 or give it to them orally. Dosage either way is 1/2cc for standard size and 1/4cc for smaller birds. If the peafowl are larger than a standard size chicken, bump the dosage up to 3/4 or 1cc if larger. If you inject, alternate into the breast muscle...one day the left breast, the next day the right breast, the third day in the left breast...then you're done with dosing them by injection... injecting only for 3 days. If you decide to give it to them orally (which would be easier IMO)...dose them once a day for 5 days. The reason you dose them 5 days rather than 3 days is because it takes longer for the injectable to absorb into their system when swallowed to be effective and some of it is excreted as waste. You should see improvement by the third day, but continue to the fifth day then stop treatment altogether. To get them to open their beak, pull the wattles down and their mouth will open. Then squirt the liquid in with the syringe...let go of the wattles so that the chicken can swallow the liquid on their own.
