I bought a pair of Indian blue peacocks, about 2 years old, yesterday. When transferred them to my pen I noticed the male, who was said to have just been checked out by a vet with a clean bill of health, is nothing but bones. I don't feel any meat at a. He stood and walked around for just an hour, he did eat on his own, but has since laid down and will not stand up on his own at all.
We've been syringe feeding him start and grower mash mixed with water, which he seems to be slowly building strength, but still unwilling to attend on his own. P
Poop is very watery and white. I was told the poop was normal yesterday and they didn't realize he was as skinny as he is until they cought him yesterday. The hen seems fine, they brought 6 eggs said to be from them two. Unsure if they are fertile but put them in incubator today.
Any advice would help,
