Sick Peachick

[Shay1Bear]

Hey guys I have a peachick thats 5 minths old and her wings are droopy and she has been laying around just sleeping and when she's not sleeping shes walking the fence line just crying out, I noticed this yesterday and she wouldn't let me catch her but this morning didnt even care when I picked her up. So I have her in the house right now and sjes not injured and i dont have any sick birds so I dont know whats wrong. She pooped down my shirt and it was like water with a bit of white in it! As you can see on in the pic, it's very abnormal! No brown at all! Do you guys think I new to worm her? I dont want to start her on a antibiotic without knowing what it is I'm treating for. I dont know......any advise would be great. Thank you guys

Hello @kyegray and

!!!

You have landed in the BYC peafowl department!

Although we have many chicken-people here as well, you might have better luck getting an answer to your question in the BYC "Chickens: What Breed is This" department: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Good luck!

I would start her on Corid and I would tube fluids to her. Do you still have the tube and syringe I sent with the Baytril?

Well in the 4 years of raising Peafowl I've never had a bird die until tonight.....its driving me crazy that I dont know what the cause of illness was so I dont know what to look for as far as signs and symptoms in my other birds, what a sad night this is!

My husband says that she may have got bit by a snake or swallowed a bug but I dont know....so two days ago I noticed her kinda off on her own and wings droopy and it was super hot here so I thought maybe thats why her wings were droopy and yesterday she was still acting unusual so I brought her in and not 3 hours later she died! Im puzzled I must say! Now im going crazy not knowing what happened!
