    Peafowl questions - deworming and male female ratio

    So I’m really really new to peafowl. I have a 16 acre farm and my Guinea hens free range without a problem and I was told I could do the same with peafowl. So I hatched some eggs and now have 4 peafowl just shy of 1 yr old. I also have 3 bantam chickens that I got when the first peafowl...

    Peafowl eye color

    I hatched my very first peachick last year. He was supposed to be a purple but I think he is just an Indian blue. But my question is about eye color. He hatched May last year and his eyes are still blue. Do they change to brown at some point?

    Best Breeds For Free Ranging?

    I have Mille fluers that free range they do hang with peacocks and Guinea hens. I’ve found ones that fly are the ones that live.

    Guinea left her nest eggs in incubator (how old?)

    My guinea hen left her nest last night and she is choosing not to come back. She raised chicks to hatch last year…I think an animal may have gotten close. But I got the eggs, set them up in an incubator and I checked them this morning all are alive and hopefully the time they were cold doesn’t...

    Chicken can’t stand - sudden onset

    Oh and the chicks were kept indoors and separate from other chickens for 2 weeks. And I don’t believe I have Marek’s in my flock all my chickens are vaccinated but they can interact with wild birds.

    Yesterday afternoon one of my pullets was left outside. Went to check on her and she couldn’t stand. She was fine yesterday morning and around noon when I checked them last. I did vaccinate these chickens for Mareks the day they hatched. This was my first time vaccinating chicks I could have...

    Where to keep hen with chicks?

    My broody (an orpington and Serama) hen’s eggs have hatched. I really want to let them raise the chicks with the flock. I have modified two dog crates, one solid walled one wire, connected them and added hardware cloth to prevent any issues for the chicks. My question is where do I put...

    Howto catch Polish chicken in woods? - FOUND!! Follow-up question

    Since she spent the better part of the day (very warm day) in the humid woods without water maybe food, should I do anything special or give her anything extra to prevent any issues? I gave her a bath, make sure no ticks were on her, plus cooled her down. I gave her a little sugar water with...
