    Help identifying breed and sex?

    I have two chicks approx. 2 months old. Can anyone verify sex? They are more than likely an India Blue/Black Shoulder cross. There also may be some pied genetics. Legg's Genetics indicate IB/BS cross produces all IB. But one chick is much lighter than the other. I have only had black shoulder...

    Has anyone had luck fixing a broken leg on peafowl?

    I have a free range hen sitting on a nest, who showed up to eat with a bad leg. Was putting weight on it at first but now the foot is curled under and she isn't putting very much weight on it. Leg doesn't look swollen, foot maybe a little. So not really sure if it's broke or sprained. But as she...

    Trouble hatching peas - why?

    I have 7 in the incubator now. The air sacks all look too large, maybe the humidity wasn't high enough? I can see some movement, so must be some inner pipping, and hear some pecking……stressing me out big time. Hatch day isn't until Saturday. But I don't want to lose them either… not sure if I...

    Is my peacock sick? :(

    You can also pick her up and if she is very light, it is more than likely worms. You can also try adding safeguard our ivermectin to her drinking water. But straight down her throat is better because u know she gets a good dose.

I've never had mine wander off the property.my wild turkeys wander far and wide bit not my peas. I do have a fairly long driveway. Mine roost in trees at night...

    Trouble hatching peas - why?

    I have been hatching peas for a few years now and the last couple of years has't been successful and I can't figure out why. I have two Lehy redwood cabinet incubators that are very stable. I incubate at 99 and 50% humidity and hatch at 98 and 70%. I am turning several times a day. I have not...

    90% Hatch rate club anyone?

    I am having trouble incubating and hatching this year and I can't figure out why. Most of mine are developing right until 3-4 days before hatch, then developing large air sac and not being able to get out. Some have been shrink-wrapped, not quite sure why. The humidity this year is very high and...

    I forget how stressful this pea egg time is! Is it for you, too?

    Yep. Same here. I now have 5 eggs. I don't have high expectations, but will put them in the incubator and candle after several days to see if any are viable
