from my understanding to treat with safeguard its 1.2cc per bird orally and 2 1/3 tablespoon for one gallon of water....and when you use it with water the safeguard sinks to the bottom and settles..i don't think that its a accurate way to give it to the birds....seems like there is a lot of waste...I fed it to my birds in the water and went thru a lot of it in doing so...I think it would be more cost effective being used orally compared to water given....

I found I could dose quite accurately and easily by putting the liquid Safeguard on bread.

Awesome pics! You referred to Patch as "pest", which I assumed really meant pet, but I've been seeing a little of the " pest" lol, said with affection. I told Joe the other day I'm enjoying them so much. One negative is we intended for them to free range over around my chickens, which are in a wooded area, but the peas prefer to hang around his game chicken pens, which are closer to the house. That's ok though because that way I get to watch & interact with them more lol.

Be glad they are hanging close right now they are homing in and once they feel comfortable you will be herding them back on your side of the fence

Glad you love them. just wait till ya got to cut the grass if you use a riding lawnmower or tractor Patch will make sure it does not run off with you

he can be a very doating peacock when it comes to his mom (you)

PS if you want the peas to enjoy the woods more set some roost up at the woods edge mine hang out here every day weather permitting.
I just cut down some scrub oaks and secured them to the trees, they love it here.

Use a natural wormer like pumpkin seeds or Garlic powder. You can put that in their feed and they will most likely eat it. Garlic has Sulfur which kills worms and if they are a year old then they don't need the really strong stuff just something to give them a break every now and then. I only worm in Spring and fall with Pumpkin seeds except Marshmallow I gave her Safeguard to be sure.

Don't count on either of them de-worming anything!
