Yes, mine love the barn or sitting on the ute or the dogs kennel, but when it comes to that witching hour on the dot, up in the trees. As a biologist, other species do some at dusk as well, e.g. hermit crabs, land crabs.. or other ocopodes. Something primitive, some thing in the genetics of...

Oh, and I have read they don't eat the first day, has something to do with their egg reserves, so yes, if they are in a cage outside, as mine are, I see them start to find little insects about. they do need water.

HI, I am also having trouble finding which feeds as there are so many different pieces of advice. I do know that 1 week old ducklings need a higher amount of protein - 18-20 %. I don't start crumb until they are 1-2 weeks old, but then they start to go mad looking for protein and break out of...

HI thanks, they free range, however they always have fresh water. they started with turkey starter, then turkey grow. I am not sure if it was medicated, as I also have peacocks and that is what I was told to feed them when they were under 6 months. she has had two clutches of eggs and not...

hi, I was wondering if someone can give advice on 9 month old KC's who feathers looked dried and freyed. could it be lice? will get a pic. they have recently been wormed.

Hi, thought you may be interested in their roosting at night. We have violent storms during the summer months, ie. dec-jan. today we had a big storm plus big winds. I was curious as to whether the kevin and kate would do the same roosting routine. sure enough on dusk, the wandered up to the...

HI , I breed Khaki CAMPBELL ducks, but as they are such poor brooders, I have an adorable muscovy GERTRUDE, who loves taking over and is such a good mom, sitting and sitting. She has just hatched out 8 babies a few died ( not sure if she attacked them or they had defects). My question, new...

Yes, the camels do seem to like it hear. The government was culling them, by shooting from a helicopter and leaving them there. Thought you may be interested in a program we have called LANDLINE, which has a documentary on camel culling...

Hi, as you probably aware, we have opposite seasons. we are in summer and the peacocks mate around November with their first clutch ( most breeders seem to take them and incubate) and the let the hen sit on the next batch. My new peacock is shedding is train and not sure if that means the move...

HI, new to the forum, and found the right info area for me. I am in the country in australia and free range my birds. I keep them in a meat house for a few months which protects them and I also give them yumm treats so they think this is a great place to live. My free rangers use to return...

Hi, thanks so much for your detailed info. In regards to bumble foot, yes that is what happens with my male. He limps for a day or two and then comes good again. It must be something he has stepped on as he is free range and sleeps with his girlfriend in the peppercorn tree. the worming paste...

Hi Minx fox, I have only indian blue peafowl, I would love to get some genetics into my harem. I have a 1 yr old blue with his mate who traditional green but not from the same genetics. then I have found a special place of genetics in WARREN NSW, an amazing place on the Macquaire RIVER...

hello fellow aussie, thanks for the warm welcome. what sort of poultry do you raise? and also do you vaccinate your poultry? I am not sure if it is law here or not.

my muscovy with her khaki campbell ducklings she hatched out.

I love your white peacock, so tame. my free range around the peppercorn trees.

Hi to all, what a nice greeting. I am recent to the poultry world, but out in the country and being a biology teacher, I could not resist. I have also found myself on a steep learning curve with my Khaki Campbells and peacocks. My muscovy of course takes over the sitting on KC eggs and does a...
