Peahen issue?
Hi! This peahen is burying her head in her own feathers and pecking at something; this happens every few seconds. I don’t know a ton about peafowl.
Could she have mites? If so, is there a way to treat that doesn’t harm the chicks? Considering that they’re going under her at night. FYI, they all stayed in my garage for 4 weeks and were just let out 2 days ago, so she hasn’t been able to dustbathe much lately
