One of our peacocks has damage to his eye. I cannot tell if the eye is gone or it’s swollen (see pics). None of our other 5 are having any issues. They sleep in either our barn hay loft or occasionally the chicken coop so it wasn’t a predator attack. He doesn’t appear injured anywhere else.
We have a farm vet but I’m not sure she sees birds and it’s Sunday so no chance of getting help today.!

I’d love any advice from folks here who may have an idea. Thanks!

One of our peacocks is having an eye issue. I cannot tell if the eye is gone or it’s swollen. Our other 5 are fine and this guy was in a coop with chickens all night (so no predators). There’s no blood and no other signs of injury. It’s Sunday so no vet today and to be honest I’m not sure our farm vet will see birds. I’ve attached a few pics. I’m not sure if we should be doing something for him. He’s making a lot of noises almost like a mewing and I’m thinking he’s in pain. We’ve got first aid supplies and Baytril if it looks more like an infection. I’d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

I’ve included two pics of the bad eye and one of the other eye for comparison.
