Penhen that picks her neck bald :( ideas?

I'm so sorry. Sounds like there must have been an underlying condition causing her plucking. I know it gets crazy cold where you are, but please be careful with the heat lamp. I'm sure you are, I just get paranoid.

Sorry for your loss.
You did everything you could for her, but I’m glad she isn’t suffering anymore. Not the hoped for outcome by any means.
Hugs!

thank you guys very sad here. hopefully her mate is ok with the rest of the birds for awhile. not sure about sending in for necropsy yet. ($250!) but the vet thought her neck was broken. she never was a great flyer so I'm wondering if she hit her head too hard on the roof or something like that?
@townchicks yes we are careful with the heat lamps. they are in a cage & wired up so they cannot fall. I still have some chicks in the coop so they are a necessary evil. it was about -25 not sure on the windchill but I saw -45 on the news. so I'm sure the cold didn't help any.

Very sorry for loss.

True, never give the pour-on orally, but the 1% injectable or the horse paste given orally *does* treat *all* lice, I guarantee it. I don't own any of the pour-on, all I ever use is the 1% and it treats 100% of the poultry lice in 24-72 hours.

When you say "orally" I assume you mean to catch the peafowl and force feed it? Or do you put it in their food? Or in the water?

I am so sad for you. It is hard to lose our lovely birds.
