Pleaseee reply!! I always post but no replies!

Stop with all the treat foods and feed a good quality non-medicated chick starter. Like any kids they will eat the candy and sweets before eating the nutritional foods. If you do persist with other food stuffs be sure to also give grit so they can process the food. Toss the All in One in the trash along with the corrid. All in One products are meant for pigeons and is not effective for peafowl. Giving all the different meds when only one type is needed and especially in too low of doses is harmful. Corrid is not effective for peachicks and starves the chick of vitamins it needs for development. Corrid only blocks the intake of vitamin B that the protozoan needs but also starves the chick. The best treatment for cocci is Toltrazuril, we treat our chicks monthly until mid winter. Toltrazuril actually kills cocci not just starve it so it is very effective. If you have other questions about peas I live in the Peafowl forum and you can post there for faster replies.
 
Are they getting grit? Too often people neglect to give their poultry crushed granite grit, and they cannot digest their food without it. Birds do not have teeth, but they have a gizzard instead. This is a powerful muscle inside that, with the help of grit, crushes their food so it can be digested. Keep a supply of it constantly available so the birds can help themselves. It may not seem that they are eating much of it, but they will take what they need. This is a crucial item in their care.
Thanks that makes more sense

What if its worms? What would be good for treatment of worms
 
What if its worms? What would be good for treatment of worms
Either of the 'white' dewormers will work. Fenbendazole, Safeguard is less expensive than albendazole, Valbazen but it is not water soluable like Valbazen is. For only a few birds get the Safeguard for Goats at any of the farm stores and give two ml per mature peahen or three ml for a mature peacock. Current year chicks can have up to half of a ml. Safeguard is very safe and very hard to overdose with. If you don't want to do an oral dosing you can sop up some bread or put it in the feed but they need to eat all of it within the day. Dose for one day and again ten days later for roundworms and cecal worms or do for five days in a row to kill all types of worms. Then repeat in another ten days.
 
You can take a sample of the birds' poop to any vet and ask them to do a fecal float test to find out if your bird(s) have worms and if so, what kinds of worms. Only some kinds of worms are visible in their stool, others are microscopic. If you have more than one bird, you can mix their samples, no problem, you don't have to have the samples tested separately. You'll need to treat all the birds anyway.
 
I think he definitely needs wo

in been monitoring him and hasnt put alot of weight on hes very light..
 
Valbazen or SafeGuard are not used in the water because both will settle out. Each one is given orally to each chicken or in a small treat. Dosage is Valbazen 0.5 ml (1/2 ml) for a 4-6 pound standard hen given orally once, and then repeated in 10 days. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or the horse paste 10% dosage is 1/4 ml given orally once and in 10 days for roundworms only. To treat the other worms that Valbazen does, it needs to be given for 5 consecutive days. That will treat capillary and gapeworms, as well as round and cecal worms. Here is where to find Valbazen and it can be order through TSC:

The OP is requesting information for peafowl in case you missed that. In our large flight pens where it is not feasible to individually catch and oral dose every bird we use Valbazen in the water, and it is effective. We use 20 ml per gallon for two days in a row, repeating in ten days. We dose current year chicks monthly until winter sets in. Breeder pens are dosed in a wet mash, either Valbazen or Safeguard, at two ml per hen and three ml per cock twice per year.
