Q and A article from a Peafowl Website.

I recently read an article from the UPA website about a strange disease/health problem in a peachick and wanted to share what I found out about it.

I think it's called subcutaneous emphysema.

I have seen this before in my silky hens, i just called it a ruptured air sac ,hens look like a animal balloon but i never seen it happen to their heads, mine have always gone down by themselves but it sounds like this fella was in need of help for sure.

Great find thanks for sharing

The red spot is from where I poked it with a needle

I also found this diagram that shows air sacks.
