Also will the peachicks be ok in the winter I have heat lamps on her but all of them go on attack mode when I go in the house... help.
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 that has reached adulthood, but I think all have been sterile. As for the BS hen who has laid 4 eggs, who do you think is fertilizing those? Several other members have hens that are confused and are currently laying, but so far I have not heard if any of these eggs are developing. You are in TX if chicks would hatch, I would think they would be okay with a momma hen and a heat lamp to keep them warm.
