I just went out again and she's looking better! She can open her eye now!

She's still doing that mouth gaping thing though:

I've also been giving her antibiotic eye drops once a day too.

Is it Tylan 50 or Tylan 200?
The Tylan 50 dose for a 7-pound chicken is no less than 1.4 ml 3-4 times a day
The Tylan 200 dose for a 7-pound chicken is no less than 0.35 ml 3-4 times a day

Tylan 200

I only have one male left after the winter. The hen stopped eating and I'm not sure what was wrong with her. I dewormed her and treated for coccidiosis and a respiratory infection over the course of 2 weeks that I had her inside and was tube feeding her 3x a day. She slowly kept losing weight and on her last day her poop looked exactly like the formula I was tube feeding her so she was not taking anything out of it at all. Maybe someone who sees this will be able to tell me what went wrong for her. I didn't just throw all of this in at once though I dewormed her first and saw no improvement and then I treated her for coccidiosis and nothing and then a few days later treated her for respiratory illness and again it did nothing.

My male is 2 years old now and starting to call like nuts, sounds really nice compared to all the roosters. I'm having a friend look out for hens at a swap meet next week so I can get him something to mate with lol. This was my first pair of peafowl.

Was able to pick up a trio of breeding age peafowl a bit ago so looks like I might be able to hatch something this year lol. I dewormed all 3 and sprayed them down for mites. They are getting along well with my young peacock.
