I know this forum is for chickens but I'm sure some of you have peacocks as well so I need your advice. I have a peahen who is acting very sick. She just stands there in the hunched position. When I put food in front of her she looks at it like she's going to eat and even pecks in it's direction but she won't eat. She is very sluggish and keeps one eye closed. And she's been getting worse. Can anyone tell me what this could be? I will keep a watchful eye on her for anything else but that's all it is right now.
 
She may not be able to see well enough to eat and drink enough. It might be helpful to hold food and water right up to her beak on the side where her eye is open. Is there any drainage from the eye or bubbles in the eye? Here is where you can post on the peafowl forum as well—just click on the freen box to start a thread:
