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...

Haha, just came across some cute links on a Reddit post and thought you guys would enjoy. They are a little off topic so I will ask a question so it kind of relates. Anybody know if peafowl do the same sort of head tracking? I don't handle my adults unless I really have to so I can't try it on...

We have a thread like this in the peafowl forum but I don't see one here. I figured it couldn't hurt to start one here also. Here are my silver pheasants. They are about 3 years old. I hand raised them and they are very tame. Zoidbird gets grumpy at breeding season but is a perfect gentleman the...

I am fascinated with my birds personalities and behaviors. They each have their own little quirks and habits, makes me wonder what kinds of things other pea owners may have noticed. I'll add a few of my birds habits. Atticus, my almost 3 year old hand-raised male doesn't mind me petting him on...

*Sold out* Hand raised India Blue peachicks for sale. Pick up only (may meet you halfway). SW Arizona. Message if interested.

Good morning guys. I am incubating some Java eggs for a friend and will hand-raise/imprint them for him. When they are raised this way are they as tame as the India Blues when grown who will eat out of your hand or are they still wild?

Just wondering how long before the peachick in the egg breaks the inner membrane and pips the shell. I have a peachick that's been peeping away inside the shell all morning but still no pip. Will it run out of air soon if it can't manage to pip? I've had one or 2 chicks that had their head stuck...

So sad . I went outside to put my peachicks up for the night and there was a giant snake in their cage that ate one of the babies and was to fat to get back out. That or he was waiting to have seconds . The cage is 3 feet off the ground and the holes are only about an inch wide so I never...

So I have 3 silver pheasants about 4 months old who have lived together since they hatched. I kinda had a feeling based on the tail color (2 have more white speckles on them) that 2 may be boys and 1 a girl. Since they aren't mature and haven't colored all the way out I figured the boys wouldn't...

A little backstory: My peahen Momma Jane hatched some peachicks last week. One was dead in the middle of the pen the first day she got off the nest. One was dead half out of the shell and the other kept standing against the fence and the dogs wouldn't stop goin after it through the fence and one...

I've seen my females display a few times and today again one was displaying. She was following Raja (my peacock) around displaying and shaking her feathers at him. I thought maybe she just wanted some attention but the minute he opened his tail to display she put her's down. He made his little...

One of my chicks that hatched the other day is lighter than all my others have been. It looks just like the regular IB chicks but a few shades lighter and yellowish tail feathers. I took some pictures but you can't really see the difference as much in the pictures. Do you guys think it's just a...

Yay, finally the wait is over and Polly the bullmastiff had her puppies while Archie, daddy bullmastiff, paced and scratched at the door. Six all together 3 boys and 3 girls. One has white on her face which isn't supposed to be there (it's a fault) but I think it's cute. Mommy and babies...

My dog just saw some baby rabbits by their hole and killed one. I chased him away from the hole but he snuck back while I was letting the chickens out and dug out the other 2 babies. They are okay but what do I do with them? The hole is all dug out so I can't put them back. I don't think they...

Okay, so peachicks are cute as hell and I love them but WoW can they be loud. I have mine in a brooder in the bathroom to keep the temp regulated and keep an eye on them. I spend a lot of time playing with them and holding them and so does my son and husband but we can't be in there all day and...

So my first little peachick finally hatched!!! He is doing good, alert and loud. Little bit of a crooked foot, hoping it straightens out. I had to go get him his own little day old chicken to keep him company. Didn't want the poor little thing to be lonely. No name yet, letting DH name this...

I've been having a hard time trying to candle pea eggs with a flashlight, the shells were just too thick. My wonderful DH just brought home an awesome old projector that let me see inside the eggs perfectly! It was so cool. I did have to throw out 2 eggs that were empty but one of the eggs the...

My peahen had 6 eggs (she stole most from the other peahens) so I got some nice sand and went to buy more straw to make it comfortable for her before she started to sit. When I got home and got the straw unloaded she had already started sitting . I sprinkled a little straw around her and she...

Going to sevin dust to see if that helps.

My adventures with pheasants came about with an eventful trip to the county fair. There I saw for the first time a golden pheasant. Wow. I wanted one. My son was in agreement and decided that he HAD to have one for 4H. We researched feeding and basic care then set out to some local breeders...
