Looks like her crop is swollen

Can you post a clear picture of her?
Is it night time where you are?

Is she pooping?

No she is not popping

Do you have coconut oil on hand?

 

[azygous]

No meds are needed. She needs oil to smooth the way so the impaction can break up and go down - coconut oil, olive oil or mineral oil. About half a teaspoon at a time with gentle massage in between doses until you can feel the crop empty.

You may need to provide grit to your pea chicks so this won't occur again.

Depending on how much hair it ate...
Provide chick grit if peafowl normally eat grit and perhaps a couple of drops of olive oil dropped onto the top of the beak. Provide plenty of fresh food which they like moistened and water today to help push it along. Then vacuum! Lol
