Really hope you're right! Thanks

White? I guess possible as both parents carry the pied gene

Black shoulder or black shoulder pied or possibly a bronze black shoulder?

Thanks. I was hoping to tell at a couple days old. I will post some pictures on the other thread when I get home tonight

The yellow fluff on the chick can stay white or darken if it is a true BS. How do you tell as a chick which it will be?

I have been trying to breed for Indian Blue Black Shoulder pied. I started with in Indian Blue Pied male on a black shoulder females. The resulting offspring so far have given me Indian Blue pieds, Indian Blues and Black Shoulders but no Black Shoulder pied. I was just wondering if there was...

How to tell if a blackshoulder chick is pied or not? As the blackshoulder chicks are cream/white how would you know if it was an actual pied or not? Anyone have pictures of the difference? TIA Irene

Do you repeat the whole 5 days of treatment after a 10 day waiting period? Irene

My peahen has 4 eggs in her house but has not decided to set yet. The temperatures are supposed to be upwards of 92F for the next couple days, will this start the incubation process? Not sure I should take them away and put them under a hen or leave them with her, I really want them to hatch...

Bummer! Thanks Garden Peas. I kind of figured that was what would happen but I was really hoping I was wrong. He was sickly when I got him. Baytril seemed to clear it up but it obviously sneaked back when I wasn't paying attention and by the time I noticed he was sick again it was too late...

I bought a trio of yearling BS Bronze in the spring. Unfortunately the male has recently died and as they are rare where I am, I am wondering if I used a BS blue male on the two BS Bronze hens would I get a BS Bronze out of that cross? What would I get out of that cross? Would I have to cross...

One of my peahens in with my 2 year old peacock and another peahen is getting beat up, bad. I am not sure it the peacock when he is breeding her as I haven't seen them breed. The back of her head is bald and bloody, which makes me think it is from breeding but the other peahen is fine. Should...

I also live in Ontario. Our peafowl are in 10x10 wooden sheds, the tin roof is insulated but that is all. They make it through the winter just fine, no heat. Their perch is a 2x4 wider side up so they can use their body to heat their feet. Each trio has a 15x30 pen attached to the house that...

Thanks for the replies. They never got back to me so he is going to the auction tomorrow and hopefully he will find a nice place. Irene
