Regarding worming in water Kathy, it must work because I've not had a worm problem in the 10 years I've had peafowl. I know a breeder that has used the method for 20 years with no worms. We do it every 6 months and all has been well. Many many use this procedure with Safeguard and Ivermectin. I don't think I saw anything mentioned about using the Wazine first to kill and remove the load of roundworms so the birds systems aren't overwhelmed dealing with dead worms. There is a lot of information on BYC I've read and now do that with my growing peachicks. The peafowl drink the dosed water for 3 days. Larger birds drink more therefore get more wormer, smaller birds drink less so aren't overdosed although I've read there is a lot of room for mistake in Safeguard and Ivermectin. If I were to put it in food they wouldn't each get an even amount due to some being food aggressive. NO WAY can I worm them individually. Even trying to give them wormer on a piece of bread would be difficult. Trying it in the past some don't like the wormer, don't eat the bread and another bird will grab it that's already been dosed. Keeping tract of those treated and not treated is difficult. For now I'll stick with what's been working for me. Do intend to keep tract of this thread in case wormer in water someday fails. Thanks much for all your time and information.
