I've talked to a few and they all say it's probably wry neck ( stargazer) she throws her head around and falls over a lot. I can just get her to eat and drink by dropping it onto her mouth. I don't think she's getting much rest though with all these neck spasms.

Going out to get vitamins today too. Any extra advice?
 
Usually it's caused by diet in fowl.

The following treatments have been reported as being fairly effective:

Nystatin
Trimethoprim Sulfa
Vitamin B 12 to strengthen the nervous system
Enhanced nutrition to correct any nutritional deficiencies

Maybe give them some Gatorade too?

Welcome to BYC! What are you feeding them?

Sorry about your baby and hope the vits help. You might consider adding brewers yeast to your birds diet in hopes of alleviating future problems.
 
Peafowl are gamebirds,in the same family as Guineas and Turkeys. Both need high protein.

Get poultry electrolytes and vitamins.
