Worming Peafowls during breeding season?

[Peafowlssssssss]

@q8peafowl , can you post some poop pictures?

Here is some pictures, this was from a chick which almost died.






By the way this is not the brooder they were liven in before they get sick, i just put him here because i know he will die soon and i didn't want to be with the good chicks.

Sulfadimethoxine at 1ml twice a day for 6 days will cure cocci

Thanks, i will ask the vet if he has it.

That looks like there's blood in it, so the chick probably has coccidiosis, enteritis, maybe both. Can you post a picture of the brooder that the other chicks live in?

@q8peafowl , get the medicine for coccidiosis and treat all the chicks that the sick one was with.

The chick in the picture isn't sick as he looks, this was because he was just let out of the hatcher.

Do you have a way to weigh your chicks? I use a kitchen scale for mine. Healthy chicks will gain weight every day, so if you start wighing them you'll be able to tell if they are getting sick because they will not gain wait and then they will start to lose weight.

This one is 24 hours old.

Quote: Coccidiosis spreads easily. You can bring it in on your hands, feet feeders, waterers, etc. Cleaning is a good idea, but get some coccidiosis medicine just in case.
