Help Sick Peafowl

[Peafowlssssssss]

Anyone has an idea about what is going on with this peafowl?
He seems to have some problems while breathing but i'm not sure, also he always lay on the ground after walking few steps.

Sadly he just died, if anyone has an idea about the cause of death it would be appreciated.

Sorry for your loss they go so fast

I know you said it is a he but i have seen a peahen with internal laying act just like this flicking the tail downward and taking a few steps then lay down and then get up and do it all over again, i lost her the first day i noticed her doing this.

Sorry for your loss... I would suspect a massive bacterial infection from damage caused worms, blackhead or coccidiosis. The mouth breathing and tail movement were probably just signs that the dying process had started. Had he lost weight? You could do your own necropsy, that will more than likely tell you what he died from.

I'm not sure if it boy or girl yet, i'm not good with sexing spalding peachicks but i think he was a boy. He was 8 months only, so even if it was a girl its still early for her to lay eggs.

I thought its a bacterial infection too, because he was in the same pen were the 3 males get swollen eyes last week, they all doing fine now. He was fine Yesterday, i noticed him this morning, 3 hours later he died. I don't think he lost weight, also i need more courage to do necropsy myself LOL!

A respiratory problem !

I think Mycoplasma Pneumonia or avian flu.
