Recently I had three baby peacocks. They all died in a matter of a week. Before that they we're completely healthy and had been treated for worms and blackhead medicine. When I opened them up, they all had a severely inflamed intestine.
I went to the vet before the last one died and she gave me antibiotics and antiinflamtory medicine but the peacock still died (I also fed it every 1.5-2hours by mouth because it would not eat on its own)
Anyways I have attached some photos so please let me know what I could to prevent this from happening because we have 2 more baby peacocks that just hatched and I don't want anything bad to happen to them
Thanks

I don't think it is necessary to deworm or treat for blackhead at the baby stage. If they are kept in a brooder with a floor they are not apt to get parasites. If they have been getting medicated chick feed they have been boosting the immune system against cocci.

We normally treat for worms and cocci after the chicks have been out on dirt for a while, like six weeks or so. I wonder if the treatments your chicks received didn't irritate their systems.
 
Give them game bird medicated feed keep them off the ground and away from chickens until 3months old and you'll never have a problem.

So sorry for your losses. I am no expert, but it looks like it could have been coccidiosis. Might be a good idea to buy some Corid.
