Did a thorough check on her this morning in the daylight and it's just dirt lol...i was paranoid it was something bad...thanks for the info i will keep it on hand in case anything develops in the future...
Oh yes she does have a dust bath area she uses daily, there is fine dirt there. I cant explain what it felt like, just like a cruddy flaky type matter under her feathers. It was dark outside so i couldn't take photos, i will try over the weekend to get some photos but it's also going to be...
When you put the safeguard in scrambled eggs do you just mix it in after the eggs are cooked? I will have to dose their treats somehow to ensure everyone gets dosed since there are too many water sources i can't control but they do come when called for treats every day...
I need some help with what i think might be mites...we bought a peahen at auction and long story short i think she has mites but I've never dealt with them so I'm not sure...i felt gritty stuff up under her feathers on her breast bone...it was dark and we had a flashlight but it looked like...
I need some help with what i think might be mites...i hope someone sees this since this thread is old, but we bought a peahen at auction and long story short i think she has mites but I've never dealt with them so I'm not sure...i felt gritty stuff up under her feathers on her breast bone...it...
Oh my gosh i am so shocked if the green one is a female! This whole time he/she had been acting just like the pied male, he/she us always displaying the tail feathers. ..is it because the only peafowl he/she has been around is the male since they hatched together and are growing up together? I...
Thank you! And how do you tell the age? Also, her crown feathers seem to be missing? Do they not have these or do you think maybe hers were lost somehow? She seems to have just a few scrawny bits there, almost like she's either just starting to grow them or they all fell out?
These two peacocks were hatched from purchased fertile eggs described as being from a "mixed flock", they will be 1 year old in july. Can anyone tell me what breed these guys are? Thanks!
We just bought this pretty girl at a local auction however due to the massive size of the auction there was no way to get any info (annual amish auction in our area). Can someone please let me know her age and breed? Thanks!
Thank you all for your input i really appreciate it...the reason for the scramble to get peahens so fast was because the local "peacock lady" said if i didn't get some then my peacocks would kill my chickens...I'm starting to think she was a little dramatic...but now that we are here can anyone...
Gerald this is the first peahen, only 2 peacocks at this point with chicken hens, no rooster. The peacocks will be 1 yrs old this July and the new peahen is at least 1 yr maybe 1.5 yrs old, we got her so the males would have a girlfriend for next year when they are old enough for breeding. We...
I need help and I'm posting here since it's a recent thread. ..we just got a new peahen and i need to know how long to keep her separated from the rest of the flock before they can be together. The current flock consists of peafowl and chickens, all free range. The peacocks roost in the trees...
