Sexing my peas

[ricebabyca]

Wow ok. Well I already buried it

. Do u think I should worn them again with safeguard or wait? And is it too late to dig bird up? I'm n Texas and it's over 100 degrees

When did you bury it?

If it were mine and hadn't been in the ground too long I would send it for necropsy or do one myself. As for worming, I would get Safeguard liquid or Valbazen and worm all of them ASAP. Let me know their ages and sex and I'll suggest a dose for each one.

I buried it around 10am. Ok I have 4 that r 14 weeks old, 3 male and 1 female. Then I have 3 that I don't no exact age or sex. Guessing around a month old

Are you willing to do the necropsy yourself?

Can you post pictures on the younger ones?

 

[Ladybug727]

I will! Thanks! I just bought 4 more little ones. They are India blues. I started with six and lost 2 blues to coccidiosis. Definitely a learning experience! It's almost like having newborn babies!

Sorry if I missed something here, but how do you know it was coccidiosis? If your birds have coccidiosis, they should probably be getting the outbreak dosage of Corid, are they getting any coccidiostat? And you might avoid bringing in new birds...

 

[ricebabyca]

Good point... another question... how old were then ones that died?

 

[Ladybug727]

Well the first 6 I bought from a farm that has raised them for many years. When I described symptoms of my first sick bird a couple months ago, the previous owner said coccidia. I could not find corid so I used sulmet and it cured it! Then I read that most die from it so I Medicate regularly to make sure

 

[ricebabyca]

From what I've read, Sulmet can be hard on the kidneys, so it's not something I would use unless I knew for sure they had coccidiosis.
