    Things have been going well since my last post! The chicks are strong and healthy, and I have weaned them off of nutri drench water.

    i have some friends with peacocks! they live kinda out in the country and have goats and so many chickens they've lost count. a few years ago or so, they got peacocks because someone was giving them away and they "thought it'd be fun". an unexpected thing is that they have since then been their...
