2015 breeding season
Hey everyone . I always find my way back here at this time of year. I hope everybody had a good off season and I am looking forward to hatching along with everybody for another year. This is year 4 for me I think. -
This site needs pictures of the different colors
I am pretty clueless when it comes to the finer points of genetics still. From what I understood though PeepsCa is right. They are IB split to pied carrying 1 copy of white eye and the bs gene. The father was BS and the 2 mothers were each SP. I am very excited to see if they, especially the... -

Thank you :) I have some better pictures of him if you'd like them. The ones I put up were just focused on wing shots. I gave the babies with the white spots to my friend but I can get pictures of them from her. The chick Momma Jane hatched has a white spot on the top of his head also and half... -

So tell me..... how do all my fellow "Peapeople" relax?
Oooh a lot of readers here. That's what I like to do to relax also. I just finished The Wise Mans Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. Really awesome series, can't wait for the next book. When I'm not working or reading I'm hanging out with my husband & son. We like playing video games, picking random... -
Photoes of open wings of mutations of adult male peafowls and adult female peafowls.
Thank you His name means prince, well technically he's named Rajkumar. Which is the title for the crown prince in India. I call him Kumar though. I think it fits him, he is very regal. -

This forum rules
I am so sorry about your little gosling . How sweet your dog is to worry about it so much. I love this forum too. Everybody is so helpful. When I found it a few years ago I was so clueless and everybody here was so nice in answering my silly questions. One of you (thank you ) even stayed on... -
Photoes of open wings of mutations of adult male peafowls and adult female peafowls.
Thank you . Couldn't believe with all the pictures I've taken that I don't have a single one of him with an open wing. Maybe when I worm in a few weeks I will do it by hand instead of in the water and get a few pics. -

Photoes of open wings of mutations of adult male peafowls and adult female peafowls.
Well I went through my pictures looking for open winged ones and these are the best I could do. I discovered while looking that I have an obsession with my peafowls feathers especially my blackshoulders wings. I have hundreds, and I mean hundreds of pictures of just feather closeups from... -

All the babies are so cute I love the pieds when they are so tiny. I almost gave in and bought one this year but decided to wait another year or 2 before I get any more. My breeding season is almost wrapped up. Had a very eventful one this time around. Almost killed 2 incubators full of eggs... -

Thank you It means they carry one copy of the pied gene if I understand it correctly. Gotta send em out in style right? Thank you. Most of them are being picked up this week but I'm keeping the 3 with the spots. Going to give them to a friend. -
Best kind of grass/ sod
I installed misters in my pens this summer (wow, they really looove them). I have decided to get some sod to lay out under them for my pea's to peck at so I am not wasting the water. I'm in the desert and don't have any experience at all with grass. I found a place in town that has sod without... -

Oh, all the babies are so beautiful. Sorry for everyone that has had losses. Sounds like a quite a few of us are having a rough year. I had a few die during pip this year, both I think suffocated after cutting themselves off from their zip. Had some not make it to hatch, pretty sure it was... -
Peafowl Color Chart ("Genetics" spreadsheet)
Oh wow, thank you. I didn't think I'd be able to tell which ones carried the pied gene. I looked over all the chicks really well. One of the older batch has a similar spot on it's head but not quite as yellow. Another from this same batch as Zaphod has a spot more towards the back of it's neck... -
Peafowl Color Chart ("Genetics" spreadsheet)
I had a quick genetics question. I am kind of lost when it comes to the genetics. I had thought a silver pied female with a blackshoulder male would make IB looking chicks with white flights. So far that's what I have gotten although they are a little lighter than the reg IB's. I figured that... -
