Mites!

I think that too!

The same thing happened with our male peacock, he just dissapeared for a while and when he came back, our chickens pecked at him and he did have mites. It looked about as bad as yours did. Sad thing is he died a couple of days later. We tried giving him medication, but for some reason none of it helped. Hopefully experts figure this out, it really is frustrating :/

Would it be safe to assume if the mites affect pheasants and turkeys they will also affect Peafowl?

Thank you all for your help, i have just saw the mites with my naked eye! Can't wait until the vet opens.

Just another question, is this egg bound?

We were on holiday and i haven't seen them since two weeks, i have no idea when she starts to look like this!

I'm no expert, but I think it's fair to assume that chickens, peafowl, game birds, turkeys or other poultry can all get the same parasites.

Here, the day she lays:

Moves all the time.
Scrapes the ground.
Feels the heat ... beak open.
Flat back.
Tail shelf form .
Often looks upwards.
Lower wings.
Little clucks.
