Mine usually get diarrhea when it gets hot because they drink alot more water . Did it get warm by you?

What did you worm them with and how much did you give them? Did you give it orally or in the water?

X2, but what you might not know is many peafowl owners worm with ivermectin or 3cc safeguard in the water, neither will get the job done.

0.5ml per 2.2 pounds for five days.
That works out to:
Peafowl Amount (1 ml = 1 cc)
Large Adult Male 3 ml
Small Adult Male 2 ml
Large Adult Female 2 ml
Small Adult Female 1.5 ml
Large 3 month old chick 1 ml
Medium 3 month old chick 0.8 ml
Small 3 month old chick 0.7 ml

Of course one could also use Valbazen at 0.08ml per pound orally once and repeat in ten days.

And many peafowl owners don't know that peafowl are super susceptible to capillary worms and that the one day Safeguard dose won't work.

Here is a picture from a 3 year old peahen that had a severe case of capillary worms and coccidiosis.
