Well first off, I will say whoever did these is an amazing artist but I definitely have to say, not my style at all. First off, I'm a guy so yeah, not really my type, and second, I'm definitely more of a hick/redneck/cowboy type and none of those really fit within those categories. I appreciate...

Ok I'll make sure to let you all know if I do! Thanks for the pictures, they are great and I love the ideas. Its always neat to see what people can do and I won't "rip-off" her ideas but definitely use them as references for future plans! Thanks again!

That is really awesome looking! So are the feathers glued down or sewed down? That is what I am thinking about. I would like to do up some belts that way at some point too!

Thanks for the links! I sorta forgot about fly tying until I got into the one link. I used to tie flies all the time, even had some peacock feathers for it too! Maybe I can get back into that again and maybe take it up a notch and build my own hooks too. I've always enjoyed that type of stuff so...

Hey everyone, just wanted to sorta vent some ideas to everyone. So my family went to Wyoming for the weekend for a wedding and during the long drive there and back, my wife and I discussed some ideas. My wife is ridiculously talented when it comes to beadwork and is working her way into doing...

I am new to this so I could be wrong but I don't think there is such thing as an "Indiana Blue" peacock, I believe you are actually meaning India Blue. I could be wrong but I have yet to hear of an Indiana Blue Peacock. Definitely some beautiful birds though! And if I'm wrong, could you let me...

Ok, that's what I thought. So you are trying to get TTbb from TIbb and what else?

I know I am new here so I probably couldn't help anyways but what in the world does all that mean? I am very lost at what you are looking for or even asking. Are you talking genetics?

That's great! Sounds like you have quite the variety of livestock! Well, if things work out for me, you may have a local peafowl breeder near you! Might be a little while but still!

I checked out your link frenchblackcopper and those are some sweet pens. I'm going to be "stealing" some of your ideas if you don't mind. 3BirdGirlz, where are you located near Great Falls? I am between Conrad, Valier and Shelby so right around 80 miles north of Great Falls. I am personally...

Wow man! I clicked on your link you left on my thread and just started reading.......Awesome pens!!!! I am definitely going to use some of your ideas if you don't mind. They look great and you do awesome work. I am the same way, not much of a carpenter but I can be ridiculously meticulous when...

Thanks for the comments and advice q8peafowl and zazouse! I thought very similarly as zaz, I like the idea of raising them so I know what I am getting but at the same time q8feafowl has a point as well. There are definitely pros and cons to each. I am thinking on doing adult birds from the...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! And thank you very much for the added advice MinxFox and frenchblackcopper! Just to give everyone a bit of an update on what I am thinking now after considering what everyone has said so far, here is a bit of an update. So the next few weeks are already crazy...

Thank you all for the welcome! I am very excited to get into peafowl but I also don't want to rush into it with out doing my research for my sake and the sake of the birds. So thanks again for the welcome!

Thanks for all the advice Arbor! Its greatly appreciated! I am currently planning on staying small for at least a few years to make sure its something I enjoy and if so, then I may go ahead and work on becoming a large breeder. I have plenty of land to do so and I like the sounds of it but I...
