Show off your Peas! - Page 40

post #391 of 1459

One other thing.  I have had my breeding peas in 4 pens.  Breeding season is over.  I tried letting 2 pens together, not only do the males hassle each other but the hens do too.  Is it safe just to let them just go at it for a while.?  I let the gate open to two pens for about an hour and decided maybe I best separate them again till I asked.  They just are at each other continuously.  

I put the little ones Pecky and Pokey, outside today in the pen on the cement.  Their pen is really small, hope to extend it real soon.  It gives them a start though.  So cute to see how scared they were then how curious they got real soon.

The new babies Perky and Pepsi go out to the shed tomorrow.  I have a cage that they can get use to Pecky and Pokey.  It has bigger holes on the back where after about a week I can pull it out then they can go in and out if the bigger ones pick on them.

Well, I just have to show off Mr. Chuffy.

I think he's beautiful, although he is a bit tattered in spots.

He's the real old timer around here - he's around 23 years old.

He is a very mild mannered and sweet old fellow, and a bit nervous; who knows what he has encountered over the years?

23 years old! That's amazing! What is a pea's average life span?
post #397 of 1459

23 years old.  He's probably a bit nervous, experience has probably taught him to be careful.  To bad people with older peas don't start a picture thread.

I agree. Wonder how many other 20 something peas are around!

Very pretty peas, i have 3 that never miss a day fanning and 2 that i rarely see fanning, the ones that fan all the time have no girls but the ones that rarely fan have 7 girls between them.
