Fred is nice also, the only birds he will put in their place are yearling males, he will show dominance to them, but is not too aggressive. Fred will let the yearlings peck his crest off also.

When my clutch of Spaldings was hatched under my Cameo hen in 2013, all was well for about 6 weeks, at that time I had 3 left and in one day 2 of them stripped all the feathers off the third ones neck. I moved the bald one and the momma into a separate pen. All was well and she grew her feathers...

Definitely wishing you some luck!

We have had some pictures posted on here that showed some very unusual birds, at least one was a hen that was several years old. She was claimed to be a Pea/Chicken cross, the thing is nobody can ever prove it, but it did look like one. She lived for quite a few years from what I remember, but...

Okay, got it now. So the IB has been a busy boy. Maybe he will beat the odds and be fertile, but I doubt it would be the chicken eggs that hatch.

Not sure I understand? I don't know if you saw any of them breeding, besides the one IB you said was breeding your chicken hen. But even if the Peacocks are breeding they may not be fertile during this time of year. I think Garden Peas has seen her's breeding and her hen has laid like 12 eggs...

That's quite an "egg salad" she's sitting on! I am really thinking that most of the eggs are probably not fertile, it's just not the right time of year for that, and I know 2 other members incubated some only to find they were not fertile. But there is probably no harm in letting her sit on...

There has been quite a bit of debate on the subject of Pea/turkey, Pea/chicken, and Pea/guinea cross breeds. Seems it is possible, but generally unlikely, most eggs will quit before hatching or offspring will not live long if they do hatch. Occasionally we see a picture that is a supposed cross...

I knew we could, but I never actually knew that was how we did it. It takes a lot to offend me, so I wasn't too worried about the "how to".

I PMed the details. I'm not sure it was the language as much as the tone and innuendo.

You sure did girl!

Also known as an Impeyan pheasant, perhaps you've heard of them by that name? I almost bought some eggs off ebay, the seller lived like 25 miles from me, but wouldn't allow me to pick them up. That makes me a bit suspicious and they are expensive, so I hated to put them through the postal...

Keep in mind that high% greens will probably need heat as well. I love the look of the greens as you do and I purchased a 2 yr. old pure Burmese Green from a very reputable breeder several years ago. I chose not to purchase a hen for him because of the heat issue. We are in PA and we get very...
