I have Jubilee Orpingtons. All of my chicks, with the exception of one, have chipmunk stripes! I know I have purebred Jubilee Orpingtons. They came from top breeders in the US.

Hi Emerald, I also have small chicks out in a brooder. I am using a heat pad and also heat lamp shields with regular light bulbs to avoid fire. The heat pad can be picked up at tractor supply! They are made for chickens/chicks and heat to 100°

It's doing very well! :)

Thank you Kathy :)

this is the best picture I could get, color is not good on my phone camera! But this is where it layed immediately after hatch, I checked umbilical area and don't see anything new. I don't think it came from there, to be honest it appears to come from the belly feathers. Like it was in the egg...

It's coming from the feathers, belly area but it is the same color..so pooped in the egg before hatch maybe? Took about 3 1/2 days after initial egg pip to hatch also. I don't see anything wrong in the umbilical area as far as draining other than the blood. Also the umbilical cord was completely...

I just had a peachick hatch leaving behind a fluorescent green/yellow where it lays while drying. Can someone please help me with this? Is it ok or normal by any means? The newly hatched chicks before left a slightly dark yellow if any color and they are fine. I just don't understand, and don't...

That's really nice to know! I have 5 more and more hatching and incubating :D which means I have a good chance of getting the bs ib I have been wanting! Sadly I thought I already had one, but thanks to a member for correcting me :) I honestly couldn't tell them apart as far as color/ name...

Ok, so I tried the pipe cleaner and it had fallen off overnight, apparently I didn't have it taped well :/ my husband suggested that I try a paper clip against the hock, which actually worked well on one foot/leg. On the other side, not so well! I made a new shoe with the pipe cleaner and used a...

Yes I do, you are right :D I am confused! Haha..I am so happy to know there are people who know what they are talking about! I am still at the learning stages of peafowl. I want to know more ;)

Nice! So I have been calling him a bs when he is just ib?? You have such a beautiful peacock! I only hope mine gets to be as beautiful and colorful :) thanks for the info! I was told by someone else he was a bs kind of a bummer :/

He probably will not stay, they can jump very high! I have to cover my pen to keep them in, it's 6ft tall. Not to mention he can fly. I hope he stays with you, they are beautiful and comical to watch!

Looks like my black shoulder India blue! About the same age too! Right at 2 yrs, although I am not an expert, this is my opinion ;)

Any thoughts on the color of this peachick?? It is about a week old and was all yellow the evening it hatched, this is the way it has looked since the next morning! My thoughts are black shoulder, I am not sure which hen it is from, although I only have one peacock.. I have more hatching through...

Just want to say hi and I'm happy to know there is a thread for Indiana!!!

I don't know if this will help, but I found it on google. Hopefully it is treatable! Poor girl :( breaks my heart to see anything wrong with any animals, especially birds!! http://www.thepoultrysite.com/diseaseinfo/143/staphylococcosis-staphylococcal-arthritis-bumble-foot/

My chicken coop! Added windows, and roof. This is approximately 14ft x 8ft and will comfortably house about 15 chickens with my peafowl. It was originally built for chickens, peafowl were added much later. I allow my chickens to free range is why you only see one. This only took about 2 days to...

Thank you! I am going to try this and see how it turns out, hopefully very well! Fingers crossed :)

Please tell me how you did this with pipe cleaners!?! I have one chick with both feet curled under along with the hocks, another with just one! I have tried the band aid with both but the one I have had no luck with :( it's feet won't straighten out to the front

Aww poor guy! I hope it doesn't hurt it :/ all fowl eat everything they shouldn't. I hope you find an answer soon.
