I raise chickens and I have two peafowl. One male and one female. My chicken chicks are to young yet to be out in the coop yet so I have them in the house but every day I take them outside so they can start getting used to the outside. They are in a small cage. When I take the cage outside my...

This little one is a mix of a Silver Laced Wyandotte and a Mille Fluer. Hatched last saturday. I am very curious what this little one is going to turn out to look like. It's got the beard like a mille but the coloring of the SLW.

This may sound stupid, but I was wondering if a peacock could mate with another bird, turkey or chicken and have babies. I have looked and looked and can not really find an answer.

I have a hen like this!!!!......She is a cross between my silver laced roo and my cochin. I also call her my unicorn chicken! LOL!!!!

My girls love to free range. So far I have never has any losses due to free ranging during the day. Only thing I have to watch out for is the dog down the road from me. The lady that owns him swears that is never killed a chicken, but I get a different story from her husband. Killed 5 of their...

I have a question. I was told the other day that I could use a product called permethrin for chicken lice. My question is. I have a dog shampoo that contains permethrin in it. Would it be ok to use it to give my chicken a bath in it to kill the lice?

I am new at hatching eggs so I really don't know. If all goes well we are expecting our chicks around the 19th, give or take a day or two. I just peeked in on Miss Broody and she is sitting and sitting! She came out for some sunshine and to peck around for a little bit yesterday but up she went...

I think all of the eggs are fertile. I candled them two days ago and I saw some life! I think! First time candling.

Darn....I posted a photo of my new rooster and now I wished that I would have posted photos of my peacock.

Thank you for the information. I will update as progress continues.

I have a broody hen sitting at the moment, but I had to move my tractor due to rain and 3 inches of mud yesterday. My broody hen came out for about 1 hour, pecked around for a while and went back to sit. I am going to estimate that the eggs are just a few days in the process. Was an hour too...

Thank you! Everyone is doing well. And I have one hen sitting on some eggs, I am hoping for some chicks soon!
