Thanks for the reply...I'm like you :) I will probably let her set for awhile longer...She's one of my favorites ...so I hate to take the egg...and I've turned off the sprinkler to the tree

Quick question....just found my white peahen sitting on a single egg under a tree in my backyard...problem is the sprinkler has come on and the egg has a small puddle of water around it...do wet eggs hatch?...she's still sitting on it ? Thanks for any reply

Thanks for your reply...just upset because I raised them from keets

Hi...I'm in California desert. Not too many predators. We have crows and I've seen a small size hawk. But that's about it. If a hawk got it wouldn't there be feathers? body parts? That's why I'm thinking stray cat?

Missing Guinea? Noticed yesterday, that I'm missing one of my Guineas.I've walked around my fence...and nothing? No feathers/body ? Nothing? Tried calling and nothing? I had 5...They're around four months old, and are pretty good size. Could a stray cat have got it?...I'm puzzled because of it...

Thank you !

Hi...I saw this post, so I hope you don't mind me asking. I have a peahen that is sitting on 3 eggs...30 days was up on Aug 20th...give or take a day ....how long should I let her sit? I keep hoping one will hatch? Is there a way to tell if they are still alive?

Thanks...I'll try that!

Thanks I'll try permethrin...does it matter what strength? I found some on Amazon.

Thanks for your reply! I will keep giving her CG. I'm not familiar with SQ?

Quick update...She was egg bound.I have her in a separate pen, and gave her calcium gluconate. This morning she passed an egg. It was soft shelled. She seems to be doing better and standing on her own. But the concern I still have is that her wings are still really droopy? Do you think she may...

Peahen unable to stand...She was fine this morning, eating and visting on the back porch. My husband went out 4 or 5 hrs later and found her laying down on her side unable to stand. We checked to see if she is egg bound, and couldn't feel anything. She layed an egg yesterday, and seemed fine...

Yes...She sat on eggs last year, but it was late in the season, so nothing hatched. So, I'm hoping this year!
