Thank you all for the info!! Peacocks run pretty expensive here. I did worm them first thing. ;-) I was not sure if I could use the same stuff as I do on my chickens but they don't seem worse for wear. I gave them all ivermectin. I got them from a "swap" that we have here and it was the last day...
I got these four Peafowl cheap and without much info. I am still learning so any advice is welcome. I was planning on doing more research and getting some in the spring but the price was right. Help me out here? Peacock?
Same bird as the first pic

No.... She hasn't laid an egg in months!! Looks like you might just have yourself a rooster in a few months lol. Just have to figure out how to get it to you. :-)
Im still crossing my fingers its a pullet!! So it can stay lol. I don't need another roo here. But its the one and only chick out of my fav hen that decided to stop laying for some reason about two months ago. At what age would I start to see the skinny rooster neck feathers if its a roo? It...
Yes indeed!! I got my eggs on sat and cant wait to see the lil fuzzy butts hatch! They were packaged wonderfully. And I cant wait for them to get big enough for the kids 4-H showing. Im sure I will have more than one to choose from to show. :-)
