I've raised chukars for a few years and it wouldn't supprise me if you could tame them. I am the one that feeds our chukars most of the time and I tend to linger in the pen with them when I do. It doesn't take them long to realize the difference between me and my husband. They don't run/fly...

If you are raising them for 4h then you will not need a permit. My hubby and I raised them to sell so we needed a permit. If you are worried about it, you can go to Gander Mountain to get a permit and I believe they are only $10, or you can go on the internet and fill out the form, pay for it...

I love when the babies start running around and learning how to use their wings. As far as the temp, the best way to determine if it is too hot or too cold is by how they are acting. Huddling together is too cold and staying away from the heat and panting is too hot. The specific temp isn't...

I was so sure that I was not the only one that believed this way. I have always wondered if there was a "god" or not since I was about 10 years old. The things that I heard being preached at church just never made sense to me. My mother died when I was 5 years old and then my father died 10...

I used chainlink fence (used) then put chicken wire along the bottom of it. I'm sure you can find used chainlink pretty cheap even a dog kennel would work, too.

I, too, feed mine a gamebird feed. I also give them scraps just like I give my chickens. Things like lettuce, celery tops, potato skins, that sort of stuff. Their favorite treat is dog food and recently found that they also like cat food. They only get that as a treat. I'm not sure if its...

I've only had peacocks for a few years but what I've learned is that a male won't get his long tail until he is 2 or 3. Each year after that it will get longer and longer. When my 6 year old molted last year, his longest feather was 4.5 feet long. Last year my 1 year old had tail feathers that...

Beautiful babies:) I've only had peacocks for a few years but as far as I know you can't determine what sex they are until they are nearly 1 year old. You could have a dna test if you want to know right now. I haven't been able to tell by looking at them until they were 10 - 12 months old.

Hope someone can figure this out. I have lost a rooster, hen and a turkey. Chickens are 5 months old and the turkey was 3 months. The hen and rooster started with poop smeared on their feathers (at the butt area). Then it gets worse and worse. But still eat and drink normally. Then they...

Hi everyone. Just found this sight today and I decided to join. I am loving everything so far. Glad to see that there are others nearby. My family and I live north of Dunlap, Illlinois. Would love to chat with anyone near here. Maybe swap advice, chicks, etc.... My family and I have...
