Please help with sick peacock

[Garden Peas]

Her poo hasn't had blood in it that I have seen but it hasn't ever been like all my other peas poo. Their poo looks about like dog poo and thats normal but hers is and has been watery on and off since we got her .

Do I remember correctly you might have said both she and the male chick were probably ill when you got them? How was his poo, and how long did it take him to recover? Was the tetracycline enough to get him well? Have any of your other birds shown any signs of illness since he joined the flock? Is he in with the other birds, or separate?

(Sorry, lots of questions

)

Quote: Thanks, that kind of you. Like already said, helping someone like this can be very hard. I would feel so much better if Shay could get a weight on her.

@Shay1Bear , can you take her to a vet and ask them if you can use their scale? I bet they'd let you.

she has been on her perch for a while now and this is her poo within the last 2 hours. Its strange because throughout the day I notice uts really runny and other times it solid. I dont think the I should be white in it at all

White is bird pee

Coccidiosis poo does not have to have or show blood in it. Loose splattered stools are a pretty good sign that something is wrong.

X2, and got to be honest, those look pretty normal. What I'd really like to see is the cecal poop. Let me see if I can find a picture!

But then there were also those bad poo pix at #159 & #160 (I think?) that were also within the last 24 hours... So something is compromising this bird's ability to poo normally, unless it is suddenly getting better (which would be nice, hurray

)

The male chick never was sick and hes out in the coop with the flock and doing great. He never showed signs of being sick, since shes been bad off my husband and I have kept a close eye on the flock. When I feed in the morning I look at all the poo on the ground and every thing is normal outside. We are going to weigh her tomarrow. Things have been hard since we moved to Oklahoma and I dont have a car yet and my husband works all day and to top that their isnt a vet in this very small town....you guys have been my vets ha ha. My husband will get a scale and the corid on his way home tomarrow so I will post her weight as soon as I know

Its weird it seems like her poo is watery and then solid on and off all day long.

These pictures are from peafowl that had blackhead, E. Coli or both. Some recovered with just metronidazole, other had to have metronidazole and Baytril. None were treated with Corid. The fourth pic is what her poo looks like when its not solid.
