Does green forehead indicate a male at 4 months?
Yes, I will assume the dna test is correct and that it is a cock...but I won't bet the farm on it just yet. (I have a buyer lined up if it is a hen!) -
minimum pen size for a pair of peafowl?
Too late for that now. LOL. I already have wild plum, bamboo and magnolia growing inside the pen and up through the netting. I will be keeping an eye on any tearing of the net and make repairs as needed. I know it just creates more work but I am happy to have my pens in the more natural... -
Does green forehead indicate a male at 4 months?
Here are some pictures I took this morning. Looking closer at the photos I do see a bit more barring than my old eyes could see in real life, so... -
Does green forehead indicate a male at 4 months?
I have a 4 1/2month old peafowl that I have had dna tested...results came back it was a male. It never did have a lot of barring...some...but I always had thought it was a female. Every day I wait to see if tha barring increases but it never does. It still looks like a hen to me. BUT, I did... -
minimum pen size for a pair of peafowl?
My 2 outer pens measure about 40' x 40' each which include an 8'x8' closed in house in each pen. The 8 x 8 is not ideal...my next peacock house will measure at least 10'x10' or maybe even 12'x12' to accommodate the long trains during mating season. Right now I have one adult male and one... -

Another strange question...pork and beans?
Here's another strange question... I am worming my adult peafowl with safeguard. Most of my birds take it just fine with a bit of cereal or yogurt or even with cottage cheese or cooked rice. But my adult peacock, Rainbow, just turns up his nose at anything that has Safeguard mixed in with... -
Using permethrin around peachicks
I am planning to spray my peafowl houses with permethrin. One of the houses contain a peahen with her 3 week old peachick. I assume the peachick will have no adverse reactions to the permethrin spray but thought I would throw this out for comment. I hate to find out the hard way that I should... -

Suggested dosage of Pantacox for 2 week old peachick
How can I tell that it is the 2.5% and not the 5%...it is not mentioned on the packaging either way? -
Suggested dosage of Pantacox for 2 week old peachick
I have two peachicks left from my 2021 hatch. One is almost 2 months and the other is almost 2 weeks old. They have both previously been treated with Corid and it will soon be time for another treatment against coccidiosis. I received my first order of Pantacox (25 mg toltrazuril per 1 mL of... -
Collecting feathers for sex testing
This weekend I will be collecting feathers to send off for sex testing. My first time doing this. I have 4 peafowl to test. I have read conflicting advice re: pulling feathers from the chest or from the bottom...which is correct or does it even matter? Anyone? -
Black Shoulder peahen or peacock?
My buyer has backed out, so...there we go. But I appreciate the information on the black saddle feathers with a triangle. I recently sold a black shoulder that definitely had the triangle (spear shape) that you mention and so I know that one was a cock. This black shoulder has only a white... -
Black Shoulder peahen or peacock?
Did you get a chance to look at the front photo above? Does it help at all in determining the sex? I am asking again because I have a serious buyer who called me this morning but she wants a female as an eventual mate for her 9 month old peacock. I have been up front with her as to not being... -
Free Range Peacock
I had my peafowl free range for years. They were used to coming in and out of their pen for snacks or to get out of the rain and onto their covered roosts, but at night they slept in the trees (or on top of my cabin...ugh). When it became breeding season I closed them up in their pen and when... -
