Peafowl could not eat nor drink on her own.

[Ibrar usafzai]

Good evening everybody.
My peafowl of age 16 months could not eat on her own but when I put a feed roll in her mouth, she easily swallows it. It doesn't seems to have flu or any other clear symptoms.
what do you guys think she is suffering from and what is the cure?
her poop is milky white mucus like.

I have no experience with peafowl, but @casportpony should be able to help.

The symptoms you describe, as well as her posture, seem to be suggestive of something apparently wrong. A good start might be bringing her inside, getting a good weight check on her, and examining her body for any abnormalities.

Thank you so much.
I did check her many times but there are not any apparent alarming signs. Also checked her mouth on my mobile’s flash light, everything seems okay.
I'm new at this forum. Shall be very thankful if you could please let somebody guide me how to take care of her.

First, can you find a vet that can run a fecal exam on her asap? You can rule out a number of things quickly knowing if there are cocci or worm eggs. When they have a milky diarrhea it is indicative of bacterial infection but knowing the cause is very important. That infection is secondary to the main cause. Worms, cocci, and Blackhead all cause organ damage and that damage will have bacteria growing and give off that kind of runny poo. Blackhead will normally have a yellow color associated in the diarrhea along with a little blood. It can be very hard to know exactly how to treat without more information. Kathy will be along soon so if you an upload a close up of the diarrhea it will be helpful. If you can give her a shot of 1ml of Baytril it may help while we try to figure out the problem. Also you need to find some tube feeding equipment, you need to get some liquids in her and eventually feed to keep her strength up.

I have raised them in the cage having soil floor.
unfortunately I can not find a vet at the moment, have already given her an antibiotic shot (named Gentamycin + Dexa) in the chest + deworming syrup and am hand feeding her twice a day.
Please find the attached picture of her poop, and let me know about what you suspect should be the cause.
