all the birds are in one single large flight sow i got to give the vinegar and ronnivet to all of them, is that ok?

[vslopes]

ok tank you i got to go get the braggs vinegar i only have the regular kind

Heinz makes an organic ACV but it is really cloudy and I did not like what it did in the water tubes... Bragg's is a bit more expensive but so worth it.

cindy - Agreed on Braggs. I've tried a few brands and Braggs is definitely the best option. Also seems the most palatable. They don't seem to notice it in the water at all (or if they do, they like it.)

I would definitely try the ACV and see how that does for you.

Giving the ACV and Ronivet to the entire cage is actually preferable because the most likely ailments are all fairly easy to transmit ailments. So there's a good chance multiple birds are affected.

Could you foster the eggs to another healthy bird in a different cage? If so, I would consider it. Or you might pull the eggs if he's only started incubating.

My concern is stressing your male and the hen before their bodies are really ready to take on the demands of babies. If they're due very soon, you could also end up with a situation where they transmit the illness to the babies, so they struggle or die as a result.

A note on the beak - some flaking and peeling is totally normal. Beaks have a similar structure as nails - layers that grow out from the live core/base. I wouldn't be too worried about his beak.
Though he does have a very curious shape to his upper beak - very "heavy" upper beak, very munia-like. But I think it's quite cute and not anything to worry about in terms of shape. Overall, it looks healthy. So I wouldn't worry unless you see any unusual growth (rough texture, excessive peeling, etc.)

Yes, I mentioned earlier it would be a good idea, I would.... if he has been in with other he can pass parasites/protozoa to his cage mates.

Parent birds carrying a parasite/protozoa can pass this onto young when they feed so if you have young in the cage no need to worry about medicating....Ronivet or Ronex are perfectly safe to even use with newly hatched, young chicks in the nest. Keep us posted!

Some of the big breeders with very delicate rare species start a round of Ronex 12% right prior to hatching chicks and continue it until the chicks wean....it is more of a preventative. Prior to using this preventative measure they were loosing clutches of young due to parasites. Ronivet or ronex are very safe. They found that the parents were carriers and treating the parents and continuing the treatment worked.

If you treat the parents prior to the eggs hatching and continue as they feed - if this is a parasite or protoaza the young will be treated with the same medication since the parents generally eat, drink feed, anything the parents take in the young get.

I would start the ronex or ronivet (make sure it is 12%) now on the rest of your birds... if using charcoal for your birds remove it from the cages during treatment.

When are the eggs due to hatch?
