One of our peanhens has swollen eyes with little bubbles in them. She was fine yesterday and today has this going on. We separated her from the others. She is a little over a year old and in with her mate and an older hen that we purchased about 3 weeks ago. She seems to be ok other than not being able to see very well. Doesn't seem to be weak or having difficulty breathing. The others aren't showing any symptoms Any help is greatly appreciated!

@casportpony is pretty knowledgeable about peafowl. I would get some Tylan 50 or 200 at your feedstore along with some 3 ml syringes and 20 gauge needles. Dosage is 0.25 ml (1ml) per pound of the Tylan 50 3 times a day for 3-5 days. Many people remove the needle and give it orally. Tylan 200 is 4 times as strong, so the dosage would be 4 times less.
 
Baytril would be a better choice actually than the Tylan, but it has to be ordered online. I recently got a 100 ml bottle of the 10% Baytril (Enrofloxacin) which can be given orally, for $31 including tax and shipping, in 2 days. Dosage is 0.05 ml per pound twice a day for 5-6 days.
