Sexing my peas

[Ladybug727]

Thanks so much. I don't see bugs. I'm just trying to do whatever I can to cover all basis so I don't lose another baby. They do have little spots on their heads that look kinda scabby. The lady I bought from said she dusted them but who knows. Thanks for the help!

I got powder. I went ahead and added to their water today. The smallest hasn't looked real good since I got it and I noticed a little while n poop. But today she is so much better. Eating great and more active. The first one that died had white poop on its feathers around its behind when I found it

Sounds like what one of my peahens had. She had in simple terms hepatitis and Enterocolitis. Which all that mean infection/inflammation of the liver and Enterocolitis means infection/inflammation of the intestine. Her Cloaca was covered in diarrhea. The diseases can kill your birds quickly. She got it from eating an earthworm that contained two unidentifiable parasites.

.75

÷ 2.2 x 50 ÷ 100 = 0.17ml (round up to 0.2ml)​

1.25

÷ 2.2 x 50 ÷ 100 = 0.28ml (round up to 0.3ml)​

1.8

÷ 2.2 x 50 ÷ 100 = 0.41ml​

Give orally five days in a row.​

FWIW, I tried poultry protector and it didn't work, so you might want to use 5% Sevin or Poultry Dust if you can still see bugs.​

I just suggested Poultry Protector since it worked for me.

I tried it once for lice and it didn't work.

The powder dose is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5-7 days, then 1/3 teaspoon for 7 days.
