I always get all of one sex. One year it was all peahens, the next all peacocks, although to be fair some peachicks died the year I had all males so there might have been some girls. I still am not sure if they died from venturing out of the pen or if rats killed them. I learned this year from a...

Aww soo cute!!!

I was at Gulf Coast Bible Camp being a counselor for our church youthgroup. I had a ton of fun and I got up early on some of the mornings to go down to the lake and watch the herons hunt for fish and frogs before the day got started.

You mean egg-citing? Sorry just had to say it...

I thought my peahens were done laying, but Ice is pacing and was jumping in the nesting box checking it out. Can eggs be fertile if the peacocks still have a few train feathers? I have only been seeing Peep display and he just displays for me. All of them have trains about a foot long right now...

Oh my goodness I haven't been on here enough! When I don't check the site frequently enough I feel like I miss too many things! Well right now Frosty hardly has a train left. Peep is in the process of shedding his train. He already shed one of his double eye feathers and it is in good...

My peas were laying well for a few years. This has been the first year I have been collecting all the eggs from them and I noticed one was laying soft shell eggs and the others wouldn't lay much. Then with help from people on here I found out they needed more calcium to make the eggs. Giving...

I really do want greens from Rocking BAB. I did ask Josh this year if he would sell pure green peafowl eggs and he said no. I don't think he really sells eggs and as for young peachicks it seems like they only sell young chicks in the common varieties. By the time the greens are old enough to be...

Yeah that is what I keep thinking I might not be ready for such a nice bird yet. I had a feeling in the back of my mind that nothing would hatch but I didn't want to believe it. Man I have had zero luck hatching any shipped egg so far. I definitely have a huge respect for those that can hatch...

Been busy today...Walked into the guest room to check on the egg. I saw splatter on it and STILL did not understand what was going on. I thought the peachick was hatching and got something on the outside of the egg. It took me a while to let it sink in that for 22 days I have been incubating a...

Yep this is the kind I buy: http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/safe-guardreg%3B-goat-dewormer-125-ml I put 3 cc in 1 gallon of drinking water for 3 days then wait 10 days and do the same thing again. Each day you empty the water and put fresh medicated water in there. I mix the medicine in...

Soo pretty I love leopard appaloosas but I don't know if I could handle having such a big animal. I have always loved horses though. I was close to growing up around them but not close enough. I wish I had the experience of that. Today I took a video of taking an egg from Damsel. She is...

How is the pied peachick?

Oh gosh I love that!!! For anyone who has not watched Monty Python's Holy Grail you need too... Here is the bring out your dead scene you are mentioning Kathy.

We were just using an LED flashlight held to a toilet paper roll to see if we could see a difference. I can see the air sack but I don't know if I was looking at it right. I will have my mom help me look at it again. I will help it out if it eventually needs help. I wouldn't leave it to die or...

Well today is day 20. Yesterday I was freaking out because the chick was pecking a lot at the egg from what I could hear. Today I hear some pecking but not as much as last night and not as loud. I hope it won't tire itself out pecking this early. Sunday or Monday it will go into lockdown but...

Okay nevermind I called AugeredIn and he told me what to look for when I candle it. The egg's air sack is not all the way across the egg yet. I could have sworn I heard a peachick tapping but maybe the incubator was making noise...I don't know maybe it is wishful thinking on my part. The air...

Really freaking out now tapping is now back to back!!! AHHHHHH but it is day 19!?!? What do I do what do I do!? I just turned the poor baby and it is trying to hatch! Do I add more water pronto?

Uhm guys.....Uhhh it is day 19 and I hear a tap every 30 seconds maybe coming from what I think is the egg. Earlier today I thought I saw the egg wiggle. Does this egg need to be in lockdown now even though it is way early? I have had the incubator at 99-100 deg all 19 days and I have been...

Awwwww I want to hug it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you going to keep the pied? It looks like it will be a nice looking pied.
