Please help with sick peacock

Both males and females will fan their tails and dance. LE still looks like a girl to me, but if you can take a pic of his/her back, looking down on it so I can see the feathers on the back and shoulder area, I could be more certain. Also what is his/her age now?   

he is a little over 4 months now

I though the feathers on his or her back looks to be future eye feathers but im not sure

Quote: The Baytril you gave her is very powerful and likely killed all bacteria, even the good stuff, so I would wait awhile and let those good bacteria repopulate her gut. Can you get some Save-A- Chick probiotics for her? They $3 for a strip of three at tractor supply. Here is a picture of it:

99.9% sure that is a little girl. No dark "lacing" on the back, no dark feathers on the front of the neck, tail and wing feathers look female to me. Don't think you'll need quite as many hens as you thought.

I am no expert, but I agree, looks like a hen to me.
