What color genetics do you think this yearling peacock has? He is from a farm that has 25-30 free range peafowl and they have no idea the genetics of them.

Peachick from my I. Blue white eye pied hen and I. Blue pied cock. What do y'all think?

Moved 80 XLD cortunix from hatcher to brooder last night. Left 3 in hatcher that were not dried yet. This morning had another 15 in the hatcher. Having a good hatch. It will still take me a couple of more weekly hatches to catch up on chick orders.

Thanks! Just had a silver pied hatched along with another blue.

Finally had time to take some baby pics.

I only have one adult peacock, bought from individual that only had a pair. I have four peahens with him now, they were purchased from Sid in Weatherford.

This is just not a good year!! Sorry for your losses. The whole reason I bought the hatcher was to not have to constantly adjust the humidity when hatching in my incubator. Last year I though my air cells were not getting big enough due to high humidity during the weekly lockdown stage in the...

My to my two Peachicks are doing well. Next group goes into lockdown tomorrow. Candled them a few days ago and had 2 quitters and 1 clear, rest all looked good. I'll check them for movement when I put them in the hatcher.

I haven't been weighing but going by the change in air cell size. Last year I incubated at 40 something humidity and was increasing to around 70 at lockdown all in the sportsman. Didn't have great hatch rates and had eggs not loosing enough weight making the air cells be to small and fat heavy...

I am so frustrated with hatching peas!!! I have 95-100% hatch rate on my turkey but terrible on the peas. The eggs are gathered, stored, incubated all the same. I sold the first three weeks of pea eggs because we had a trip planned and were going to be gone for 2 weeks. Then I saved the next 2...

I have two royal palm toms, a royal palm hen and two blue slate hens, so more of the mixed poults than pure royal palms. Yes I also have peafowl, trying to get my waiting list for them filled. Hopefully will have more for sale next week or the next.

Over run with poults right now. Sales have really slowed down. I have 9 six week olds, 17 one week olds and 14 out of 20 hatched in the hatcher as of this morning. 6 of the royal palms are spoken for out of the youngest ones.

Anybody else's peacock already loosing tail feathers?? Mine started dropping a few yesterday and I picked up an entire hand full tonight. :(

Sorry about your poult. What breed was it??

My turkey and peafowl almost always hatch day 26.
